Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at LSZC Buochs Airport, where the aircraft, a PC-24 Air Ambulance, successfully took off after covering a takeoff distance of just 65 meters, which is only 3% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 123 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 227 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb over the town of Stans in the Kanton Nidwalden region of Switzerland. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 2,494 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 3,169 feet, representing an increase of 676 feet in just 1 minute. The climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Ennetburgen in the same region. The descent phase saw the aircraft drop from an altitude of 3,168 feet to 1,603 feet, a decrease of 1,564 feet in 3 minutes. The descent also covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached LSZC Buochs Airport for landing, it began its final approach to runway 06 from the southwest, heading in a direction of 63.0 degrees at an altitude of 139 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 106 knots. The touchdown distance was recorded at 245 meters, which is well within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also good, at -199 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of precision in the aircraft's approach and landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were identical to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 227 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,095 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown.

In conclusion, the flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient departure, climb, descent, and landing. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total flight distance of 7 nautical miles covered in just 5 minutes, while using a total of -139 kilograms of fuel.
