The King Air C90 GTX Air Ambulance successfully landed at TFFG Grand Case-Espérance Airport, achieving a score of 83.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 108.0° at an altitude of 197 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a steady course, adhering to the standard final approach procedure.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 106 knots, which was slightly below the recommended threshold speed of 118 knots. However, the touchdown point was excessively long, utilizing more than 75% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly late in initiating the flare, or the aircraft may have been experiencing a slight tailwind component.
Despite the long touchdown point, the touchdown rate was excellent at -59 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a steady course and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots. The wind direction was from 128°, resulting in a crosswind component of 2 knots. The pilot effectively managed the wind conditions, ensuring a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance was 1,091 meters, which was 111% of the available runway length. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to shorten the landing distance with a more precise flare and touchdown point. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft's approach and landing. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown point and landing distance.
