The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, where the aircraft, a Cessna 408 SkyCourier Cargo, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,787 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 112 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 129 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 625 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 4,677 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,051 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, during which it flew over the TFF1 St Barthelemy Seaplane in Guadeloupe, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes.

After the cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, starting 5 miles southeast of Grand-Case in Saint Martin. The descent phase saw the aircraft drop from an altitude of 4,901 feet above sea level to 623 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,278 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 10 at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 81.0 degrees at an altitude of 382 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 2,106 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 94 knots.

However, the touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 88 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -371 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 84 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 90 degrees.

The total landing distance was 1,930 feet, which accounted for 92% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight used 113 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 10 at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport in the C408 SkyCourier Cargo - Loaded

Landing Score 75.2 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Cessna 408 SkyCourier Cargo, successfully landed at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, with a score of 75.2%. The final approach was made from the west, heading 81.0°, at an altitude of 382 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was on a good glide path, with a threshold height that was satisfactory.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 94 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. However, the touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly high or had a slightly long approach path. The touchdown speed of 88 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -371 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which suggests that the aircraft was aligned properly with the runway centerline during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a headwind of 9 knots at 90°. The crosswind was negligible, at 0 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,930 feet, which was 92% of the available runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it was still within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some areas for improvement, such as the excessively long touchdown point and the relatively long landing distance. However, the aircraft's speed and touchdown rate were good, and the runway touchdown and rollout alignments were excellent.
