The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 05 at LFKA Albertville General Pierre Delachenal Airfield. The takeoff distance was 504 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 129 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Monthion in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,685 feet above sea level to 17,669 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,984 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Apremont in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This phase lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 499 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles east of Cea in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 17,695 feet above sea level to 3,142 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,553 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Fresno de la Vega in the Castilla y Leon region of Spain. This phase lasted for just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at LEOS Aeródromo de los Oteros was made from the west, heading 75.0 degrees at an altitude of 132 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 37 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 85 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -283 feet per minute. 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 -1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 169 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.

The total landing distance was 293 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 550 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 63 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 494 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 08 at LEOS Aeródromo de los Oteros in the PC-12

Landing Score 97.25 %

Landing Summary

The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at LEOS Aeródromo de los Oteros, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 75.0° at an altitude of 132 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 1,117 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 86 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but it did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing. The touchdown distance was good at 37 meters, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

However, the touchdown speed was reported as fast at 85 knots, which may indicate that the pilot could have benefited from a slightly longer flare to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate was fair at -283 feet per minute (fpm), which is a moderate rate of descent. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to improve their touchdown rate with a more precise flare.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, which may indicate that the pilot could have benefited from a more precise alignment during the approach. However, this misalignment did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing.

The local weather conditions were reported as follows: a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 169°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing.

The total landing distance was 293 meters, which is 26% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the PC-12 aircraft's landing at LEOS Aeródromo de los Oteros was successful, with a score of 97.2%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and efficiently.
