The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,913 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,913 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 362 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 20 at UKRB Krasny Yar Airport, where the aircraft, a PC-12, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,135 feet, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 86 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 12 °F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 121 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 537 feet above sea level to 442 feet above sea level, an increase of 95 feet in just 1 minute, and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This climb was a testament to the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.
The final approach to runway 02 at UKRB Krasny Yar Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 23.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 303 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 353 feet, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 85 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was good at -169 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 12 °F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 128 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,061 feet, which accounted for 55% of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in terms of takeoff, climb, approach, and landing. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight used -1 pound of fuel, indicating a slight fuel saving.
The aircraft in question is a PC-12, which successfully landed at UKRB Krasny Yar Airport on runway 02. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 23.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 303 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's approach and landing skills were evident in the subsequent events.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 85 knots, which was slightly faster than the target threshold speed of 88 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 353 feet was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm) was also within acceptable limits, suggesting a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 128°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 5 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway and maintained control throughout the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,061 feet was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot made effective use of the available runway length and managed the aircraft's deceleration during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases. The PC-12's performance in these conditions was impressive, and the pilot's skills were evident in the smooth and controlled touchdown.
