Landing on runway 15 at SD21 Hayes Emergency Airstrip in the PC-12

Landing Score 99.32 %

Landing Summary

The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at the SD21 Hayes Emergency Airstrip, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 154.0° at an altitude of 109 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway during the approach.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 86 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 87 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 65 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more efficiently during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The runway length of 746 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 257 meters, which accounted for only 34% of the runway.
