The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,004 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,396 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 89 feet, which accounted for 2% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 108 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 14 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. After departing from KHYA, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead Hyannis, Massachusetts. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 768 feet above sea level to 9,942 feet, an increase of 9,174 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles northwest of Forestdale, Massachusetts. This phase of the flight lasted for 68 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Berkley, Massachusetts. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 10,478 feet above sea level to 535 feet, a decrease of 9,943 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 211.0° at an altitude of 108 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 5,004 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 97 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,398 feet, and the touchdown speed was 78 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -121 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 9 knots at 210°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 2,297 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 57 nautical miles and took 26 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 208 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at KSFZ North Central State Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 211.0° at 0 nm and 108 ft above ground level (agl), indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the pilot achieved a good threshold height, which is crucial for a smooth touchdown. The threshold speed of 97 kt was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and the runway conditions. The touchdown distance of 1,398 ft was also satisfactory, considering the runway length of 5,004 ft.
The touchdown speed of 78 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -121 fpm was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 55°F and a headwind of 9 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.
The total landing distance of 2,297 ft, which is 46% of the runway length, was reasonable, considering the headwind and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at KSFZ North Central State Airport was a success, with a score of 98.7% indicating an exceptional performance.
