The flight in question was a PC-12 aircraft that performed a go-around from runway 03 at LSZS Samedan Airport, landing at a height of just 5 feet above ground level. The final approach to the runway was made from the southwest, heading 36.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 81 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 268 meters, and the touchdown speed was 74 knots, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -140 feet per minute.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.9 meters, and the local weather conditions were not ideal, with a temperature of -5 degrees Celsius and a wind of 5 knots at 359 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 776 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.5 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing was considered good.
The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 5 nautical miles in 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -117 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at LSZS Samedan Airport, achieving a high score of 95.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 36.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,300 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 1,732 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 81 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 268 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 359°, may have contributed to this deviation.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 776 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial deviation, or it could be a result of the pilot's response to the initial misalignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment throughout the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment with the centerline.
