The aircraft departed from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, situated on the island of Corsica, France. As it began its enroute climb, it started from a position approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, at an altitude of 1,055 feet above sea level. The climb phase was characterized by a rapid ascent, reaching an altitude of 585 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, an increase of 470 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient climb performance.

As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it aligned itself with runway 36 at Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, coming in from the south at a heading of 1.0°. At 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, the aircraft was at an altitude of 408 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was above the target, at 143 knots, and a touchdown distance of 380 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -454 feet per minute.

The landing was completed on the 2,110-meter runway, with the aircraft coming to rest at a position that was 42% of the runway's length, covering a total distance of 881 meters. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by its efficient fuel consumption, using 181 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 18 nautical miles and took approximately 6 minutes to complete. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a headwind of 14 knots, contributed to the aircraft's performance.

Landing Score 97.25 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 36 at LFKC Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 143 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown distance of 380 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a well-executed landing.

However, the touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly above the target, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -454 fpm. This may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown, which could have been mitigated with a more aggressive flare. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high level of skill and control from the pilot.

The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the centreline, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. The total landing distance of 881 m, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was scored 97.2%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control from the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a headwind of 14 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
