Landing on runway 02 at KSAF Santa Fe Municipal Airport in the Piper Aerostar 600

Landing Score 96.32 %

Landing Summary

The Piper Aerostar 600, scored 96.3%, entered the final approach to runway 02 at KSAF Santa Fe Municipal Airport from the south-west on a heading of 18.0° at 2 nm and 1,029 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being off the glideslope and off the centreline, with local conditions of temperature 24 °C, wind 10 kt from 10°, a 4 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt headwind.

The aircraft crossed the threshold whose height of 57 ft agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was recorded as good at 92 kt.

Touchdown occurred 68 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the touchdown speed of 77 kt was good, the vertical rate was excellent at minus 53 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance measured 1,083 m, representing 42 % of the 2,548 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

Future flights should concentrate on achieving a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate, maintaining both glideslope and centreline tracking, and targeting the touchdown zone to keep the touchdown point within the prescribed limits.
