Side view — the last 1,477 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,477 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 08 at BIIS Ísafjörður Airport. The takeoff distance was 228 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 84 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -16 °C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Isafjoerdur in Vestfirdir, Iceland. The climb from 1,018 feet above sea level to 5,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,981 feet, was achieved in just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 5 miles southwest of BIBI Baeir Airport in Vestfirdir, Iceland. This cruise phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 4 miles west of Borgarnes in Vesturland, Iceland. The aircraft descended from 5,999 feet above sea level to 2,810 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,189 feet, in just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles east of Akranes in Vesturland, Iceland. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 19 at BIRK Reykjavik Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 175.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,483 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 327 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 72 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -90 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 0 °C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 269°.
The total landing distance was 553 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 125 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 112 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at Reykjavik Airport, BIRK, with a score of 99.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 175.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,483 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 85 knots, registering at 72 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 327 meters was considered good, and the aircraft maintained a stable descent rate of -90 feet per minute (fpm), which is an excellent rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach and landing. The runway length of 1,477 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to come to a stop, with a total landing distance of 553 meters, which is only 37% of the runway length.
The pilot's skill and control were evident in the perfect runway rollout alignment, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at Reykjavik Airport was a success, with the pilot achieving a near-perfect score.
