Top opportunity

Maintain the centreline

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 29 at KCHI Challis Airport. The aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 155 feet, which was 16% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 46 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 45°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 262°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KCHI Challis Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 5,566 feet above sea level to 5,698 feet above sea level, an increase of 132 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, with the aircraft making good progress.

However, the enroute descent was a different story. It started 2 miles northwest of KCHI Challis Airport and involved a descent from 5,685 feet above sea level to 5,015 feet above sea level, a decrease of 670 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent was a bit more challenging, with the aircraft losing altitude at a slightly faster rate than expected.

The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of C53 Lower Loon Creek and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This was a relatively stable and steady phase of the flight, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent altitude and airspeed.

The final approach to runway 16 at C53 Lower Loon Creek was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 173.0° at an altitude of 31 feet above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 1,232 feet, and the threshold height was good. However, the threshold speed was slightly below target at 52 knots.

The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 50 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -232 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 262°, with a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots.

Despite the slightly challenging landing, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 957 feet, which was 78% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight used 2 pounds of fuel. Overall, the flight was a relatively smooth and efficient one, with some minor challenges during the landing phase.

Landing on runway 16 at C53 Lower Loon Creek in the Fox2
Landing Score 95.34 %
Landing Summary

Aircraft Fox2 successfully landed at C53 Lower Loon Creek, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 173.0° at 0 nm and 31 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 1,232 ft.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 52 kt. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly slow during the approach, but it still managed to touch down safely. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, which may indicate that the aircraft was slightly high or had a longer than expected approach path.

The touchdown speed of 50 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -232 fpm was fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have had a slightly steeper than ideal approach path, but it still managed to touch down safely. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 ft from the centreline, which may indicate that the aircraft was not perfectly aligned with the runway during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were a temperature of 46 °F and a wind of 5 kt at 262°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 0 kt. The total landing distance was 957 ft, which is 78% of the available runway. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is still within the safe limits.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, Aircraft Fox2 performed a safe and successful landing at C53 Lower Loon Creek, despite some minor issues with the approach and touchdown.
