Landing on runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport in the Pilatus PC-24
Landing Score 96.86 %
Landing Summary

The Pilatus PC-24 aircraft, registered as N971LY, successfully landed at McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) with a score of 96.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,142 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on runway 23L, which has a length of 2,627 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 109 knots was maintained. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 72 meters. The touchdown speed was 107 knots, and the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits.

However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centreline. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of -4°C, may have affected the aircraft's performance.

The total landing distance was 1,473 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline, suggesting that the pilot may have had some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.9%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase and ensuring that the aircraft touches down closer to the centreline.
