The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,702 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 243 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 32 at RJCO Sapporo Okadama Airport. The takeoff distance was 732 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 311 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of RJCO Sapporo Okadama Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,019 feet above sea level to 23,354 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,335 feet, in 14 minutes and covering 40 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 8 miles west of RJSB Shiraoi Airport and lasted for 96 minutes, covering a distance of 368 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles west of Mito, Japan, and descended from 23,451 feet above sea level to 1,524 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,927 feet, in 12 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 4 miles north of Itako, Japan, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03R at RJAH Ibaraki Airport/JASDF Hyakuri Air Base was made from the south, heading 21.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,167 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 241 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 76 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -79 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 614 meters, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 450 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 137 minutes. The aircraft used 456 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
