The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 04 at KCDW Essex County Airport, with a takeoff distance of 662 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 106 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 321 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KCDW Essex County Airport, where it climbed from 1,190 feet above sea level to 9,249 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,059 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Totowa, New Jersey, where the aircraft descended from 9,291 feet above sea level to 2,956 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,336 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 2,955 feet above sea level to 3,700 feet above sea level, an increase of 745 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northeast of Yonkers, New York, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Larchmont, New York, where it descended from 3,969 feet above sea level to 1,695 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,274 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at KHPN Westchester County Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 330.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 324 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 90 knots was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute was good.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 305 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 558 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 35 nautical miles, which was covered in 21 minutes, and the aircraft used 73 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at KHPN Westchester County Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 330.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing on runway 34, which has a length of 1,996 meters, the pilot achieved a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 101 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed.
The touchdown distance of 324 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 90 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.5 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 6 knots from 305°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 558 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and align it with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a good score despite a few minor deviations from ideal performance.
