Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 27 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 4.8°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.

What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 7.3 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 16 m.

Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.

See Arrival LandingArrival Rollout

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Turbo Porter taxied to runway 28 at AYLA Lae Airfield and commenced its departure roll, using 215 m which represents 72 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 52 kt. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind from 228° at 3 kt, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.

During the subsequent go-around the aircraft abandoned the approach to runway 10 and climbed to 661 ft agl before re-establishing a missed-approach profile.

The final approach to runway 10 was executed from the west on a heading of 124.0° at 2 nm and 840 ft agl. Prior to this, a right-hand pattern entry from runway 28 covered less than 1 nm in 110 seconds, followed by a right-hand pattern cross-wind segment that spanned less than 1 nm in 4 seconds.

Touchdown on runway 10 occurred with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 58 kt. The aircraft contacted the surface 81 m down the runway at 51 kt, descending at a rate of 336 fpm and maintaining very good alignment. Local weather remained 18 °C, wind 3 kt from 228°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.

Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 191 m, representing 64 % of the 297 m runway, but the aircraft finished 15.6 m off the centreline, indicating a misalignment during the final roll.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 3 nm, required 4 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Turbo Porter established its final approach to runway 10 at AYLA Lae Airfield from the west, tracking a heading of 124.0° at 2 nm and 840 ft agl. Local conditions were temperature 18 °C, wind 3 kt from 228°, with a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was a little below target at 58 kt.

Touchdown occurred 81 m down the runway at a speed of 51 kt, which was good, and the vertical rate was perfect at 336 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance measured 191 m, representing 64 % of the 297 m runway, and the rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.6 m from the centreline.

Refine rollout technique to keep the aircraft centered within the runway limits, and adjust approach speed to meet the target threshold speed more closely.
