Landing on runway 29 at NZCH Christchurch International Airport in the Vision Jet

Landing Score 97.84 %

Landing Summary

The Vision Jet has successfully landed at Christchurch International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 310.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 778 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 29, which has a length of 1,700 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 86 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 314 meters. The touchdown speed of 76 knots was somewhat fast, but the touchdown rate of -22 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 223°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 3 knots and no headwind. The aircraft's alignment with the runway during touchdown was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory.

Overall, the Vision Jet's landing performance was impressive, with a total landing distance of 463 meters, which is only 27% of the runway length. This indicates a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities have resulted in a safe and efficient landing at Christchurch International Airport.
