Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at KCGX Chicago Meigs Airport, where the aircraft, a PA34T Seneca V, took off with a takeoff distance of 937 ft, which was 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 81 kt. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 77 °F and a wind speed of 8 kt at 81 °, resulting in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 1 kt.

As the aircraft climbed out of Chicago, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the Chicago Loop, Illinois, and ascended from 1,507 ft above sea level (asl) to 9,027 ft asl, an increase of 7,520 ft in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nm. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 2 miles northwest of Oak Forest, Illinois, and maintained this altitude for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nm.

The aircraft then began another enroute climb 4 miles northeast of IN41 Nuckols Airport Redkey, Indiana, and ascended from 9,265 ft asl to 15,310 ft asl, an increase of 6,046 ft in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nm. After this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise 3 miles northeast of IN42 Hackbarth Airport Bremen, Indiana, and maintained this altitude for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 607 nm.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent 1 mile west of Southwood Acres, Connecticut, and descended from 14,795 ft asl to 622 ft asl, a decrease of 14,173 ft in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nm. The final approach to runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 30.0 ° at 0 nm and an altitude of 197 ft above ground level (agl).

The landing on runway 05 at KSFZ North Central State Airport was successful, with a runway length of 5,004 ft. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 92 kt. The touchdown distance was 1,116 ft, and the touchdown speed was 70 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -170 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centreline.
