Top opportunity

Improve the rollout

Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Flight narrative

Departure from Chestermere (Kirkby Field) Airport, CFX8, commenced with a roll on runway 18. The aircraft, AA-5B (N28672), accelerated to liftoff speed of 69 kt, covering a takeoff distance of 1,396 ft, which represented 67% of the available runway. Local conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60 °F and a wind of 1 kt at 269 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 3,596 ft above sea level to 4,594 ft, a vertical gain of 998 ft over a period of 2 minutes. This climb phase was completed while covering a horizontal distance of 5 nm. Subsequently, the aircraft entered a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 4,594 ft for 4 minutes while traveling 9 nm south east of Chestermere. The final approach to runway 28 at Winters Aire Park Airport, CFY4, was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 305.0 ° at an altitude of 323 ft above ground level.

The landing on runway 28 at CFY4 was characterized by a touchdown point that exceeded 75% of the available runway, with a touchdown speed of 63 kt, which was higher than optimal. The touchdown rate, however, was satisfactory at -196 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 27 ft from the centreline. The total landing distance of 2,939 ft represented 104% of the available runway. Notably, the aircraft consumed no fuel during the 9-minute flight, which covered a total distance of 16 nm.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, AA-5B (N28672), commenced its final approach to runway 28 at CFY4 Winters Aire Park Airport from the south east, aligning with the runway heading of 305.0° at 0 nm and 323 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the recommended value at 87 kt, indicating a potential for a longer landing roll.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft used more than 75% of the available runway, resulting in a touchdown point that was excessively long. The touchdown speed of 63 kt was also faster than the recommended value, which may have contributed to the extended landing roll. Despite this, the touchdown rate was good at -196 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 60 °F and a light headwind of 1 kt.

The total landing distance of 2,939 ft was 104% of the runway length, indicating a longer-than-ideal landing roll. During the rollout phase, the aircraft was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 27 ft. Overall, the landing performance scored 70.1%, reflecting a satisfactory but not exceptional execution of the landing.
