Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 930, then departed from runway 16 at Wellington International Airport (NZWN). The takeoff distance was 614 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 113 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 18°C and wind blowing at 9 knots from 169 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile south of NZWN, where the aircraft climbed from 1,028 feet above sea level to 19,027 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,999 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northwest of Paraparaumu Airport (NZPP) and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 7 miles northeast of Napier, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. The descent from 18,989 feet above sea level to 1,344 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,644 feet, took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 61 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 32 at Gisborne Airport (NZGS) was made from the south, heading 345.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,331 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 32 was successful, with a runway length of 1,314 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 83 knots. The touchdown distance was 325 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 75 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute was good.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good after the landing. The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 16°C and wind blowing at 9 knots from 210 degrees, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 741 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway.

Landing on runway 32 at NZGS Gisborne Airport in the TBM 930
Landing Score 98.75 %
Landing Summary

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at NZGS Gisborne Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,331 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed on runway 32, which has a length of 1,314 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 83 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance from the threshold was 325 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 75 knots was slightly faster than ideal, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was descending at a controlled rate.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 210°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 6 knots, which was relatively light and did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot.

The total landing distance of 741 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases.
