The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 912 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 912 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 146 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 20R at PAFA Fairbanks International Airport. The takeoff distance was 484 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 12 knots, with no crosswind. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,426 feet above sea level to 11,605 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,180 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead PAFA Fairbanks International Airport and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 7 miles south east of AK41 Greg'n Sage Airport North Pole, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from 11,554 feet above sea level to 2,488 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,066 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The descent started 4 miles north of AK09 Wingsong Estates Airport Delta Junction.
The final approach to runway 07 at PFTO Tok Junction Airport was made from the west, heading 98.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 847 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 145 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 75 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a tailwind of 1 knot, with no crosswind. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 156 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -92 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at PFTO Tok Junction Airport, achieving a score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 98.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 847 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 07, which has a length of 912 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 80 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft earlier to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 145 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 75 kt was reported as fast. This may indicate that the pilot could have applied more gentle control inputs to achieve a slower touchdown speed. The touchdown rate of -143 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed as it touched down on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 459 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed as it rolled out on the runway. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown.
