Landing on runway 06 at LSZC Buochs Airport in the PC-24 Air Ambulance

Landing Score 94.81 %

Landing Summary

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at LSZC Buochs Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 64.0° at an altitude of 181 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and speed of 113 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 340 meters and a speed of 103 knots. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -114 feet per minute (fpm). However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 4.0 meters off-center.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and there was a slight tailwind of 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance was 1,206 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. Although the aircraft landed within the acceptable distance, there was a slight misalignment during the rollout, with the runway rollout alignment being 13.5 meters off-center from the centerline. Despite this minor deviation, the overall landing performance of the PC-24 Air Ambulance was impressive, with a high score and a smooth touchdown.
