Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at Ridgewood Air Airport, a small airfield known as 2SC5. The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 653 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 39°F temperature and a 9-knot headwind from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot. The enroute climb started 2 miles west of the airport, and the aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,529 feet above sea level to 7,050 feet, an increase of 5,521 feet in just 6 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north of Abbeville, South Carolina. The descent from 7,047 feet to 5,448 feet, a decrease of 1,599 feet, took just 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, lasting 7 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles.

The next descent phase started overhead Elberton, Georgia, and the aircraft descended from 5,451 feet to 2,348 feet, a decrease of 3,103 feet, in just 4 minutes. This descent covered 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, Athens Ben Epps Airport, it began its final approach to runway 27 from the east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,487 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around, and the aircraft climbed to an altitude of 1,437 feet.

The aircraft then attempted a second landing on runway 27, which was 6,070 feet long. The local weather conditions had changed, with a temperature of 30°F and a 19-knot headwind from a direction of 290°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, and the headwind component was 18 knots. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 72 knots, which was faster than desired. However, the touchdown distance was good at 1,576 feet, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The aircraft then rolled out on the runway, and the pilot reported that the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 2,029 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking just 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 65 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes. The aircraft used 61 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 27 at KAHN Athens Ben Epps Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza
Landing Score 95.51 %
Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at KAHN Athens Ben Epps Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,487 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway 27 threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was evaluated. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 93 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 1,576 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was faster than recommended, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown rate was still considered good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 19 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was still satisfactory.

The total landing distance of 2,029 feet was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.

Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at KAHN Athens Ben Epps Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and landing. While there were some minor deviations from ideal performance, the aircraft's overall performance was satisfactory, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated through the successful completion of the landing.
