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 5,270 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,270 ft of the 7,354 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,342 ft past the threshold — beyond 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 31L at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 3,675 feet, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 101 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started from 1,550 feet above sea level and reached 17,021 feet, an increase of 15,471 feet in 12 minutes, covering 24 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 94°F, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 230°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 7 miles south of Twentynine Palms, California, and lasted for 22 minutes, covering 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 16,978 feet to 17,849 feet, an increase of 870 feet in 2 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of level cruises and descents, with the aircraft passing through various locations, including Searchlight, Nevada, and Kanab, Utah. The aircraft also made a final approach to runway 21 at KBCE Bryce Canyon Airport from the north-east, heading 227.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 21 at KBCE Bryce Canyon Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 942 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 82 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -41 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 4,970 feet, which was 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 345 nautical miles, taking 89 minutes, and the aircraft used 573 pounds of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 56°F, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 317°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 0 knots.
The aircraft in question, an M500, successfully landed at KBCE Bryce Canyon Airport, but with some notable deviations from ideal performance. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 227.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 7,354 feet.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 101 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more aggressively, resulting in a slightly higher touchdown speed than desired. The touchdown speed of 82 knots was also a bit faster than the target speed, which could have been a result of the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft more aggressively.
The touchdown point was located 942 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant distance. The touchdown rate, however, was perfect at -41 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration.
One of the notable issues with this landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline. This could have been a result of the pilot's decision to align the aircraft with the runway centreline during the approach, or it could have been a result of the aircraft's drift during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 56°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from 317°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 4,970 feet, which is 68% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long considering the aircraft's performance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 34 feet from the centreline, which is a relatively minor deviation. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, it was still a successful one, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely.
