What went well

Touched down at -174 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 50 ft and 94 kt — both inside band
1.23 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 39 %, bank angle up to 8.3 ° at 85 %, −0.85 points
Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 12.44 m at 66 %, −0.73 points
Arrival Touchdown — Runway alignment max 12.73 m at 65 %, Touchdown distance was 561 m at 89 %, −0.40 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

After departing from Kangerlussuaq, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and climbing from 1,052 feet above sea level to 18,400 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,348 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.

The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 25 miles east of Kangerlussuaq and lasted for 81 minutes, covering a distance of 246 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 54 miles northwest of Tasiilaq, and descending from 18,401 feet above sea level to 3,674 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,727 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.

The enroute descent was followed by a short level cruise, which started 11 miles south of Tasiilaq and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 5 miles south of Tasiilaq, and descending from 3,668 feet above sea level to 3,023 feet above sea level, a decrease of 645 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final level cruise started 7 miles southeast of Tasiilaq and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 11 at Kulusuk Airport, flying from the west at a heading of 84.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,453 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the airport.

The landing was made on runway 11 at Kulusuk Airport, which had a length of 1,488 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 94 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 80 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -174 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -2°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 119 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 954 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 357 nautical miles, taking 139 minutes, and used 244 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a M500, successfully landed at BGKK Kulusuk Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,453 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 11, which has a length of 1,488 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was also good at 94 knots. However, the touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than intended. The touchdown speed of 80 knots was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 119°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 954 meters was 64% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to touchdown speed and runway alignment. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot may be able to achieve a more precise and efficient landing.
