Landing on runway 34 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the YS-11

Landing Score 87.3 %

Landing Summary

Aircraft YS-11 Successfully Completes Landing at Wellington International Airport

The YS-11 aircraft achieved a satisfactory landing at Wellington International Airport, with a score of 87.3%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south, following a heading of 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level.

Upon entering the final approach, the aircraft established a satisfactory touch down point on the runway, but slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown point was located 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The initial approach speed was 129 knots, which is below the recommended threshold speed, suggesting that the aircraft was adequately slow for the landing.

During the landing process, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 114 knots. This is lower than the initial approach speed and suggests a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory, indicating a gentle impact upon touchdown.

A review of the aircraft's runway alignment revealed that it was perfectly aligned with the runway during both the touch down and rollout phases. This suggests that the pilot maintained accurate control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.

Weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 0°. However, the aircraft experienced virtually no crosswind component, while it encountered a moderate headwind. Overall, these weather conditions did not appear to pose any significant challenges to the pilot.

The landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,154 meters, which equates to around 64% of the total runway length. The runway rollout alignment was found to be very good, further indicating the pilot's mastery of the aircraft during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing was completed safely and efficiently, despite some minor deviations from the ideal touch down point and distance. The high score achieved suggests that the pilot demonstrated a good standard of technique and control during the landing process.
