The flight began with a departure roll from runway 13W at the CAC8 Nanaimo Harbour Water Aerodrome, where the DHC-2 Beaver took off with a takeoff distance of 260 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
After taking off, the aircraft entered a level cruise, flying overhead Nanaimo in British Columbia, Canada, for 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The cruise was brief, and the aircraft then began its final approach to landing, descending from an altitude of 728 feet above ground level (agl) to 1 nautical mile away from the landing site.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, located 1 mile east of Nanaimo, it descended from an altitude of 42 feet agl to 0 feet agl in just 4 seconds, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -505 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown speed was 57 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown distance was 142 meters, which was also deemed satisfactory.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, covering a distance of 48 meters and maintaining an altitude of 0 feet above sea level (asl). The rollout was completed in a short period of time, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 0 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 235 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed on the ground 1 mile east of Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada, with a score of 89.7%. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 1 nautical mile, at an altitude of 728 feet above ground level (agl). As the aircraft descended, it maintained a steady altitude of 728 ft agl for approximately 1 nautical mile before beginning its final descent.
The descent from 42 ft agl to 0 ft agl was completed in a remarkably short period of 4 seconds, indicating a steep and controlled rate of descent. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of situational awareness and control throughout the approach. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was considered good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
However, the touchdown rate was reported to be very hard, with a rate of -505 feet per minute (fpm). This is a relatively high rate of descent, which may indicate that the pilot was attempting to touch down as quickly as possible. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 142 meters was considered good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control and stability throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported to be mild, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 235°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 0 ft above sea level (asl) for a distance of 48 meters. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control and stability throughout the rollout, bringing the aircraft to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 89.7% indicating a high level of proficiency and control.
