Landing on runway 10 at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear in the TBM 850

Landing Score 98.9 %

Landing Summary

The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at ENSB Svalbard Airport, Longyear, with a score of 98.9%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 105.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for runway 10, which is 2,127 meters long, providing ample space for a safe landing.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 65 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach speed. The touchdown distance of 272 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 60 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

One minor issue was noted during the landing, with the runway touchdown position being slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. However, this deviation was not significant enough to impact the overall safety of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 259°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing.
