Landing on runway 23 at NZQN Queenstown International Airport in the Black Square Starship N45FL

Landing Score 86.79 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN) on runway 23. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at an altitude of 86 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on the runway, but there were several areas of concern during the landing.

The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 138 knots, which could have contributed to the aircraft's touchdown speed being faster than desired. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was considered fast, and the touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute was only fair.

The landing distance of 968 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.1 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.8 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have drifted off the centerline during the rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly high threshold height and fast touchdown speed. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas of concern that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance and safety.
