The flight from Logan International Airport (KBOS) to Albany International Airport (KALB) was operated on a Learjet 35A, a versatile and high-performance business jet. As the aircraft taxied from the parking area to the designated runway, it took 8 minutes to cover 2 nautical miles. The departure roll commenced on runway 22R, with an initial takeoff distance of 1,008 meters, which equated to 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 123 knots.
Upon departure, the aircraft encountered local weather conditions, with a temperature of 21°C and winds of 4 knots at 229 degrees. The resultant crosswind and headwind components were 2 knots and 3 knots, respectively, affecting the aircraft's performance. As the aircraft lifted off the ground, it began its enroute climb, departing from the departure altitude of 1,022 feet above sea level. The climb phase took place overhead the Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts, where the aircraft ascended from 1,022 feet to 7,611 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The subsequent level cruise phase was initiated overhead the town of Belmont, Massachusetts, and remained at that altitude for 16 minutes, covering 82 nautical miles. The flight then entered its enroute descent, initiated 1 mile south of Florida, Massachusetts, and descended from an altitude of 7,378 feet to 1,687 feet in just 5 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles.
The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise, which started 2 miles southeast of Cropseyville, New York, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then approached Albany International Airport (KALB) for its final landing, executing a precise approach from the east, with an initial approach altitude of 3 nautical miles and 881 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down safely on runway 28, which was 1,826 meters long.
At the time of touchdown, the local temperature was 14°C, with calm winds of 0 knots at 0 degrees. The resultant crosswind and headwind components were both zero. The touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also in an acceptable range, at a maximum descent rate of 187 feet per minute (fpm). Notably, the runway alignment and touchdown alignment were both perfect.
Following touchdown, the aircraft took 1 minute to taxi to the parking area, covering a relatively short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the flight had a total distance of 127 nautical miles and a duration of 36 minutes, using 296 kilograms of fuel in the process.

The Learjet 35A successfully executed a safe landing on runway 28 at KALB Albany International Airport, scoring an impressive 97.6% on its final approach. The aircraft's pilot made a precise approach from the east, heading at 272.0 degrees and maintaining an altitude of 881 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the airport.
Upon reaching the runway, the threshold height of the aircraft was good, and the pilot managed to land the plane with a threshold speed of 129 knots. The touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which might be a slight deviation from the ideal spot, but it still indicates a controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute was satisfactory, showing that the landing was completed without any issues related to deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which suggests that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft's path with the runway's centerline, reducing the risk of a sideslip or a directional deviation. The weather conditions at the airport were ideal for landing, with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and no wind, eliminating any potential factors that could have affected the landing.
The total landing distance of 948 meters, which accounts for 52% of the runway length, is a good indicator of the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill. A shorter landing distance can be achieved through optimal approach speeds and altitudes, but it is still essential to ensure that the plane is landed safely, which in this case was the primary objective. The rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft even after touchdown, which is crucial for a safe takeoff or further taxiing.
In conclusion, this landing performance was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point. However, the overall performance score of 97.6% and the ideal weather conditions ensured a safe landing at KALB Albany International Airport. This highlights the importance of skilled pilots, thorough pre-flight preparations, and optimal weather conditions for a successful aircraft landing.
