The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 11 at FMMI Ivato Airport in Antananarivo, Madagascar. The takeoff distance was 534 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 73 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 150°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of FMMI Ivato Airport, rising from an altitude of 5,112 feet above sea level to 9,162 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,050 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 3 miles west of Ambohitrolomahitsy, lasting 76 minutes and covering 212 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 26 miles west of FMNR Maroantsetra Airport, descending from 9,155 feet above sea level to 4,974 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,181 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise resumed 16 miles south of FMAJ Andapa Airport, lasting 8 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 4 miles southwest of FMAJ Andapa Airport, descending from 4,508 feet above sea level to 3,262 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,246 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 11 at FMAJ Andapa Airport was made from the west, heading 97.0° at 2 nautical miles and 417 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 11, which had a length of 1,075 meters. The threshold height was significantly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 74 knots.

The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was good at 49 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 101°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 909 meters, which accounted for 84% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 253 nautical miles, taking 100 minutes, and the aircraft used 328 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 11 at FMAJ Andapa Airport in the Cessna 208B

Landing Score 68.82 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at FMAJ Andapa Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach to runway 11 from the west was initiated at an altitude of 417 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was heading 97.0°, which was slightly off the centerline of the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 49 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly high on final approach, resulting in a longer than necessary landing roll. The threshold height at 87 feet agl was significantly above the target, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point.

The threshold speed was good at 74 knots, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the final approach. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft was not fully arrested at touchdown. This could be due to the long touchdown point and the subsequent longer landing roll.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing roll. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a light headwind of 1 knot. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.

The total landing distance was 909 meters, which was 84% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft was not fully stopped at the end of the runway, and the pilot may have had to apply the brakes to bring the aircraft to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline, which may have resulted in a longer than necessary landing roll.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement. The pilot should focus on maintaining a more precise final approach, reducing the touchdown point, and improving the touchdown rate. Additionally, the aircraft should be configured to stop within the available runway length to avoid the need for additional braking.
