The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at LESS Sotos Airfield, where the aircraft, a PC-24 Air Ambulance, required a takeoff distance of 668 meters, which was 104% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 113 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 155 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Mariana, in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain. The climb was from an altitude of 4,335 feet above sea level to 43,781 feet, an increase of 39,446 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 5 miles southeast of Castejon de Valdejasa in the Aragon region of Spain. This phase lasted for 12 minutes and covered a distance of 316 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started over Coise in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 43,631 feet to 4,917 feet, a decrease of 38,715 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at LSGC Les Eplatures Airport was made from the southwest, heading 50.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,544 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 at LSGC Les Eplatures Airport was characterized by a touchdown point that was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 103 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 30 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 931 meters, which was 91% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 26.1 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 564 nautical miles, which was covered in 62 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,094 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at LSGC Les Eplatures Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 50.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,544 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a good threshold speed of 118 knots, which is a crucial factor in ensuring a safe landing.
However, the touchdown point was significantly long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive with the landing, or there may have been some issues with the aircraft's performance. The touchdown speed of 103 knots was still within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -274 feet per minute was only fair. A more controlled descent would have been desirable to ensure a smoother landing.
The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 20.9 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more difficult to control. This misalignment may have been due to the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's handling characteristics. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 0°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 30°.
The total landing distance of 931 meters was 91% of the available runway, which is a relatively long distance. This suggests that the pilot may have been working to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 26.1 meters from the centerline, which could have made it more difficult to bring the aircraft to a stop safely.
Overall, while the PC-24 Air Ambulance landed safely, there were several areas for improvement. The pilot could have worked to maintain a more controlled descent, and the aircraft's handling characteristics may need to be adjusted to improve its performance during landing.
