Landing on runway 08 at CYGQ Geraldton Greenstone Regional Airport in the YS-11

Landing Score 93.09 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 08 at CYGQ Geraldton Greenstone Regional Airport, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 148 kt, indicating a potential issue with the approach configuration or the pilot's decision-making process. The touchdown point was 47 m beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting a slight over-shoot.

The touchdown speed of 129 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -214 fpm was fair, but not exceptional. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly high touchdown speed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4 °C and a wind of 16 kt at 96 °, were not particularly challenging, with a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 14 kt.

The total landing distance of 1,089 m was 71% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.3 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 93.1%.
