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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,454 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 271 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the TBM 930 began at KVQQ Cecil Airport in Jacksonville, Florida, United States. The distance from parking to the runway was 1 nm, and the duration of the departure roll on runway 27L was 5 minutes. The takeoff distance was 449 ft, which is 6% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 93 knots.
The local weather at the time of departure was 95°F with a wind speed of 4 knots coming from 92°, resulting in a tailwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of KVQQ Cecil Airport, climbing from 1,082 ft above sea level to 30,185 ft above sea level, covering a distance of 37 nm over 13 minutes.
After reaching cruise altitude, the level cruise phase began 10 miles south of Fargo, Georgia, United States. This part of the flight lasted for 128 minutes and covered a distance of 728 nm. The enroute descent phase started 4 miles west of Big Bass Lake in Pennsylvania, descending from 29,842 ft above sea level to 2,188 ft above sea level over a distance of 79 nm in 15 minutes.
Following the descent, another level cruise phase began overhead Port Morris, New York, covering a distance of 15 nm in 6 minutes. The final descent phase commenced overhead Lawrence, New York, with a decrease in altitude from 2,195 ft above sea level to 1,837 ft above sea level over a distance of 1 nm in less than 1 minute.
The landing took place on runway 31R at KJFK Kennedy International Airport, with a runway length of 8,051 ft. The aircraft approached with a height of 31 ft above ground level and a speed of 79 knots. The touchdown occurred 882 ft from the threshold at a speed of 67 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -196 ft per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 90°F with a wind speed of 11 knots coming from 243°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,817 ft, which is 23% of the runway length.
After landing, the distance to parking from the runway was less than 1 nm, and the duration of the taxi was 2 minutes. The total flight distance covered was 863 nm, taking a total of 162 minutes and consuming 1,229 lbs of fuel.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 94.5% indicates a very solid performance during each phase of the landing process.
In the Approach Phase, although the descent path was slightly above the glideslope limit and the speed was slightly below target, these issues did not significantly impact the overall score and can be easily improved upon with a bit of fine-tuning.
During the Landing Phase, it is impressive to note that the threshold height was good and the landing flare was executed perfectly. These elements are crucial for a smooth and safe touchdown, and your performance in this phase reflects a high level of skill and proficiency.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, the speed was on target, and the touchdown distance was well within the touchdown zone. Additionally, the runway touchdown position only deviated by 2.4 meters from the centerline, showcasing precise and controlled handling of the aircraft.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was maintained within 8.4 meters of the centerline. While there is room for improvement in this aspect, your ability to keep the aircraft aligned with the runway during the rollout demonstrates good control and coordination.
Overall, your landing score of 94.5% is a commendable achievement, reflecting a high level of skill, precision, and professionalism in the execution of each landing phase. Keep up the excellent work, and continue to strive for even greater accuracy and proficiency in your future landings. Well done!
