The final approach to runway 07 at N15 Kingston Airport from the west was initiated at 1 nm and 330 ft above ground level, heading 89.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height significantly above the target at 93 ft agl. However, the threshold speed was good at 63 kt, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down at 1,028 ft, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 63 kt was a little fast, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -738 fpm, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a headwind of 7 kt, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,041 ft was 50% of the runway length, indicating a good rollout performance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 81.9% reflecting the good threshold speed and runway touchdown alignment, but the heavy touchdown rate and slightly fast touchdown speed detracting from the score.
