Top opportunity

Hold the approach angle

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at Lukla Airport in Nepal. The Beechcraft King Air 350 took off with a takeoff distance of 494 meters, which was 91% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 94 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 318°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed out of Lukla Airport, it reached an altitude of 25,896 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,729 feet from the initial altitude of 9,167 feet. This climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying at an altitude of 25,896 feet for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 173 nautical miles.

The first descent of the flight began 28 miles northeast of Jiangzi in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The aircraft descended from 25,061 feet to 21,268 feet, a decrease of 3,793 feet, in 5 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 21,268 feet for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The second descent of the flight began 18 miles west of Lhasa Gonggar Airport in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The aircraft descended from 20,746 feet to 18,601 feet, a decrease of 2,145 feet, in 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 18,601 feet for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.

The third descent of the flight began 23 miles southeast of Lhasa in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The aircraft descended from 18,945 feet to 13,554 feet, a decrease of 5,391 feet, in 5 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 13,554 feet for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.

The final climb of the flight began 14 miles south of Lhasa in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The aircraft climbed from 18,245 feet to 19,162 feet, an increase of 918 feet, in 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise, flying at an altitude of 19,162 feet for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27 at Lhasa Gonggar Airport began 3 nautical miles from the airport, heading 270° at 1,785 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 3,988 meters long, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was too high at 121 knots. The touchdown point was 319 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -152 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 110°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 3-knot tailwind. The total landing distance was 1,343 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering

Landing on runway 27 at ZULS Lhasa Gonggar Airport in the Beechcraft King Air 350
Landing Score 93.63 %
Landing Summary

The Beechcraft King Air 350 successfully landed at ZULS Lhasa Gonggar Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,785 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway touchdown zone.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 319 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the expected threshold. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was a bit higher than ideal, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much power during the flare. However, the touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute (fpm) was satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 1,343 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and threshold height. With some adjustments to the pilot's technique, the score could potentially be increased.
