The final approach to runway 23 at Queenstown International Airport was a precise and controlled maneuver. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 261.0 ° at 3 nm and 1,674 ft above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 95 kt and a distance of 193 m. The touchdown rate was fair at -251 fpm, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 391 m, which was just 22 % of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nm.

Landing on runway 23 at NZQN Queenstown International Airport in the Black Square King Air 350 Default Blue

Landing Score 98.22 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a King Air 350, successfully landed at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN) on runway 23. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 261.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,674 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 106 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 193 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown speed of 95 knots was slightly lower than expected, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is slightly below the optimal range, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight loss of lift or a slight delay in touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a minor error in navigation. Despite this, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing roll.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 249°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 16 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing. However, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed and direction to achieve a safe and controlled touchdown.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.2%. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing. However, there were some minor deviations from the optimal standards, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
