The flight began with a departure roll from runway 32 at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield, where the aircraft, a PC-24 Air Ambulance, accelerated down the 776-meter runway, covering 85% of its length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 123 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Sankt Stephan, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airfield. The climb phase was notable for its rapid ascent, with the aircraft rising from an initial altitude of 4,056 feet above sea level to 15,009 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate was achieved in a relatively short period, demonstrating the capabilities of the PC-24 Air Ambulance.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Spiez, another location in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 15,009 feet for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. This cruise phase allowed the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady pace.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Einsiedeln, a location in the Kanton Schwyz, Switzerland. The descent phase was characterized by a rapid loss of altitude, with the aircraft descending from 14,675 feet to 2,913 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. This steep descent was likely necessary to prepare for the final approach to the destination airport.
The final approach to runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 99.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,498 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down slightly below the target threshold speed of 107 knots.
The landing itself was notable for its good touchdown distance, which was achieved at 271 meters, and a touchdown speed of 99 knots, which was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was excellent, with the aircraft experiencing a rate of -52 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the final approach.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 107 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 27 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 347 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PC-24 Air Ambulance successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to safety protocols. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 99.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,498 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the pilots to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots had successfully managed the descent and maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 108 kt, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 271 meters was also good, indicating that the pilots had maintained control and avoided any excessive deceleration.
The touchdown speed of 99 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -52 fpm was excellent, demonstrating the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft's descent and maintain a safe rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the landing, with a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance of 954 meters was 72% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilots had successfully maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
