The flight began with a brief enroute level cruise phase, where the aircraft flew overhead Quonset State Airport in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. This initial phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it initiated a final approach to runway 16 from the northwest, heading at 143.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 105 feet above ground level and had traveled 0 nautical miles.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 7,102 feet. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 98 knots. The touchdown point was located further down the runway than ideal, using more than 50% of the available runway. However, the touchdown speed of 62 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute was excellent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 76 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 18 knots from 189 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 5,197 feet, which accounted for 73% of the runway length.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 46 feet. Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 2 nautical miles and consumed 6 pounds of fuel, taking approximately 3 minutes to complete.

The aircraft in question, a Pitts, successfully landed on runway 16 at Quonset State Airport (KOQU) from a northwest approach. The pilot's final approach was initiated at an altitude of 105 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft was heading 143.0° at the time of the approach.
Upon landing, the pilot achieved a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 98 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to improve their approach by reducing their airspeed before touching down. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available 7,102-foot runway. However, the touchdown speed of 62 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -78 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 76°F and a wind speed of 18 knots from 189°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 13 knots, which may have contributed to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a straight alignment during the rollout. The total landing distance was 5,197 feet, which is 73% of the available runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 46 feet. This may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in compensating for the crosswind and headwind components. Overall, while the pilot achieved a good touchdown speed and rate, there were some areas for improvement in terms of approach speed and alignment during the rollout.
