The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at Linden Airport (KLDJ), where the aircraft, a TBM 930, accelerated down the 1,415-foot runway, covering 45% of its length, before lifting off at a speed of 85 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 78°F and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 33°, resulting in a 3-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from Linden, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,034 feet above sea level to 2,126 feet, an increase of 1,091 feet, in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent was followed by a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south-east of Elizabeth, New Jersey, and lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.

The final approach to LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft heading 22.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway and an altitude of 1,573 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 7,005 feet. The threshold height at 63 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 77 knots.

The touchdown point was 555 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 72 knots was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -166 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and a wind of 9 knots from a direction of 172°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 7-knot tailwind.

The total landing distance was 2,870 feet, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 20 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes, during which the aircraft used 61 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 04 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport in the TBM 930

Landing Score 94.09 %

Landing Summary

The TBM 930 aircraft successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 22.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,573 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 04, which has a length of 7,005 feet.

Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 77 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown point was located 555 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance but could be improved upon.

The touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly faster than the target, which may have contributed to the aircraft's slightly higher touchdown point. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and winds of 9 knots from 172°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they did not appear to significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 2,870 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
