The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 32 at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield, with a takeoff distance of 60 meters, which was 7% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -0°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 180°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Sankt Stephan in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The climb took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,252 meters above sea level to 2,449 meters above sea level, an increase of 1,196.7 meters.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Darstetten in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile northeast of Wimmis in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The descent took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 2,509 meters above sea level to 696 meters above sea level, a decrease of 1,812.6 meters.

The final approach to runway 14 at LSZB Bern Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 134.0° at an altitude of 179.5 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 14, which had a length of 1,528 meters. The threshold height was excessively above target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 94 knots. The touchdown point was 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 75 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -0.5 meters per second.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 310°, resulting in a crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind component of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,030 meters, which was 67% of the runway length.

The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 36 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes. The aircraft used 84 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 14 at LSZB Bern Airport in the PC-12

Landing Score 80 %

Landing Summary

The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed on runway 14 at LSZB Bern Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 134.0° at an altitude of 179.5 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft touched down 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot. The touchdown speed of 75 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -0.5 meters per second was excellent, suggesting that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing.

The threshold height at 56.0 meters agl was excessively above the target, indicating that the pilot may have initiated the descent slightly late or may have been unable to maintain the desired rate of descent. The threshold speed of 94 knots was also well above the target, which could be attributed to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed to ensure a safe landing or to compensate for the excessive threshold height.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 7 knots, which could have contributed to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher threshold speed.

The total landing distance of 1,030 meters was 67% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline. These deviations from the ideal alignment may be attributed to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed or to the aircraft's response to the wind conditions.

Overall, the landing was successful, but with some notable deviations from the ideal parameters. The pilot demonstrated good control and management of the descent, but may have benefited from a more precise alignment with the runway centerline.
