The M500 departed McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS) on runway 23L, accelerating along the runway for a takeoff distance of 1,544 m, which represented 59 % of the available length, and achieved liftoff at 92 kt. Ambient conditions were 30 °C with a wind from 239° at 9 kt, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced one mile west of Alcoa, Tennessee, where the aircraft rose from 1,460 ft asl to 2,573 ft asl, an altitude gain of 1,113 ft achieved in one minute while covering two nautical miles.

Cruise began overhead Alcoa and continued for six minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 17 nm at level flight.

Descent was initiated one mile north of Knoxville Downtown Island Airport (KDKX), with the aircraft descending from 2,666 ft asl to 1,038 ft asl, a loss of 1,628 ft over three minutes while covering six nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 26 at KDKX was flown from the east on a heading of 259.0° at zero distance from the threshold and an altitude of 199 ft agl.

Landing on runway 26, which is 1,055 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 95 ft agl that was significantly above the target and a threshold speed of 101 kt, also above the target. Touchdown was recorded at 453 m down the runway with a speed of 90 kt, a vertical speed of minus 223 fpm, and perfect alignment. The total landing distance measured 740 m, representing 70 % of the runway length.

Runway rollout proceeded with very good alignment, completing the deceleration phase after the touchdown distance noted above.

Taxi-in to the parking area required less than one minute and covered less than one nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered 28 nm, lasted 11 minutes, and consumed 20 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The M500 made a final approach to runway 26 at KDKX Knoxville Downtown Island Airport, tracking a heading of 259.0° while at 0 nm and 199 ft agl. Local weather was 30 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 239°, providing a 2 kt crosswind component and a 9 kt headwind.

At the threshold the aircraft was 95 ft agl, which was significantly above the target height, and the threshold speed was 101 kt, well above the target speed.

Touchdown occurred 453 m down the runway; the aircraft’s speed at touchdown was 90 kt, described as fast, and the vertical rate was minus 223 fpm, rated as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance measured 740 m, representing 70 % of the 1,055 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.

Reduce the approach and threshold speeds to meet the prescribed targets and manage the descent to achieve the intended threshold height; this will lower touchdown speed and improve vertical rate, further enhancing runway utilization.
