Landing on runway 34 at NZWN Wellington International Airport in the PC-12

Landing Score 95.07 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at Wellington International Airport (NZWN) on runway 34. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,476 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency, achieving a score of 95.1%.

Upon landing, the pilot encountered a few minor issues. The threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal, reaching 100 knots. Additionally, the touchdown point was located 70 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 82 knots was a tad faster than recommended. However, the touchdown rate was excellent, with a descent rate of -78 feet per minute (fpm).

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a moderate headwind of 24 knots. The wind direction was from 20°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind component of 24 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft.

The total landing distance was 1,082 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it to a stop efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency. However, there were a few minor issues that could be addressed to further improve the landing performance.
