What went well

Threshold crossed at 43 ft and 89 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.00 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 94 %

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -188 fpm at 78 %, Touchdown distance was 619 m at 82 %, −0.49 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 108 kt against 127 kt at 86 %, −0.37 points
Arrival Taxi — Landing Lights at 1 %, −0.33 points

Next time

Departure

Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 127 kt.

What happened: Climb speed was 108 kt against a target of 127 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 127 kt.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 241 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 188 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

KRNT Renton Municipal Airport served as the departure point for the PC‑12, which taxi‑ed from the parking area to the runway for 7 minutes, covering 1 nm. The aircraft rolled out on runway 34, taking off after a 528 m distance that represented 34 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 91 kt under local conditions of 23 °C, 8 kt wind from 356°, providing an 8 kt headwind and no crosswind. Immediately after departure, the climb commenced over W36 Will Rogers Wiley Post Memorial Seaplane Base, rising from 994 ft asl to 23,008 ft asl—a gain of 22,013 ft achieved in 11 minutes while covering 35 nm.

The aircraft entered level cruise 4 miles southwest of Snoqualmie Pass, maintaining this phase for 176 minutes and covering 780 nm. Descent began 21 miles west of KGRM Devil's Track Airport, where the PC‑12 lowered altitude from 22,317 ft asl to 7,800 ft asl, a reduction of 14,517 ft in 11 minutes over 45 nm. Approaching KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport, the final approach was executed from the southwest, heading 41.0° at 4 nm and 1,244 ft agl. The aircraft landed on runway 03, which measures 2,738 m; the threshold speed was slightly above target at 90 kt, and the touchdown occurred 186 m beyond the touchdown zone at 78 kt. The touchdown rate was –80 fpm, and the runway alignment was very good. Local weather at the destination was 19 °C with a 2 kt wind from 250°, yielding a 1 kt crosswind and 1 kt tailwind. The total landing distance was 946 m, representing 35 % of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.

After touchdown, the PC‑12 taxi‑ed back to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered 867 nm, lasted 206 minutes, and consumed 632 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 03 at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport was executed from the southwest, maintaining a heading of 41.0° at 4 nm and 1,244 ft AGL. The aircraft approached with a threshold height that was within acceptable limits, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 90 kt, indicating a smooth descent profile. The touchdown occurred 186 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 78 kt and a touchdown rate of –80 fpm, demonstrating precise control and a well‑managed flare.

Upon contact, the aircraft aligned closely with the runway centreline, achieving a very good touchdown alignment. The touchdown point and speed were within the desired parameters, and the aircraft’s attitude and pitch were maintained to avoid excessive sink rate. The local weather conditions—temperature 19 °C, wind 2 kt from 250°, crosswind 1 kt, and tailwind 1 kt—contributed to a stable approach and a controlled landing.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 946 m, which represents 35 % of the 2,738 m runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, allowing the aircraft to decelerate efficiently and come to a complete stop well within the available distance. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 96.9 %, reflecting a high level of proficiency across all phases of the approach, touchdown, and rollout.
