The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at Christensen Ranch Airport, where the aircraft, a Cessna 208B, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 72 kt. The takeoff distance was 1,336 ft, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 56 °F.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. During this time, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 525 ft above sea level to 2,442 ft, an increase of 1,917 ft. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nm. The cruise phase began 2 miles north east of Hollister Muni Airport.
The enroute descent started 2 miles south east of Seven Trees, where the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 3,236 ft above sea level to 1,579 ft, a decrease of 1,656 ft. This phase of the flight lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nm. The final approach to runway 30L at Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 322.0 ° at an altitude of 1,533 ft above ground level and a distance of 4 nm from the runway.
The landing on runway 30L was characterized by a touchdown point that was 783 ft beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 55 kt, which was considered good, but the touchdown rate was hard at -475 fpm. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 86 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance was 4,987 ft, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 147 ft from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 41 nm, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used 169 lbs of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at KSJC Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach to runway 30L from the south east, heading 322.0° at 4 nm and 1,533 ft above ground level (agl), was executed with a score of 66.4%. This indicates that while the landing was generally satisfactory, there were some areas for improvement.
One of the notable issues with the landing was the threshold height, which was well above the target height at 76 ft agl. This suggests that the aircraft may have been flying too high during the final approach, which could have made it more difficult to control the descent and maintain a stable approach path. However, the threshold speed was good at 65 kt, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a suitable airspeed during the approach.
The touchdown point was 783 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to accurately judge the distance to the runway or may have been unable to control the aircraft's descent rate. The touchdown speed of 55 kt was good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a suitable airspeed during the landing. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -475 fpm, which suggests that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly during the final stages of the approach.
Another issue with the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was significantly misaligned by 86 ft from the centreline. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to accurately align the aircraft with the runway or may have been unable to control the aircraft's direction during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 63°F, were likely not a significant factor in the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,987 ft was 70% of the runway length, which is a relatively long landing distance. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a suitable airspeed or may have been unable to control the aircraft's descent rate during the final stages of the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 147 ft from the centreline, which suggests that the pilot may have been unable to control the aircraft's direction during the final stages of the landing.
Overall, while the Cessna 208B aircraft was able to land safely at KSJC Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot may have benefited from additional training or practice to improve their skills and ability to execute a smooth and controlled landing.
