Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 32 at YSHR Shute Harbour/Whitsunday Airport. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 178 meters, which was 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 59 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 324 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Mandalay, a location in the State of Queensland, Australia. The climb began at an altitude of 588 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 2,584 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,996 feet in just 4 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of Mandalay. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles northwest of YBHM Hamilton Island Airport, Hamilton Island. The descent was from an altitude of 2,566 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 20 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,546 feet in just 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles during this descent.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it began its final descent from an altitude of 14 feet above ground level to a final altitude of 0 feet above ground level. This descent took just 7 seconds and resulted in a touchdown speed of 40 knots, a touchdown rate of -90 feet per minute, and a touchdown distance of 174 meters.
The landing rollout took place 6 miles north of YBHM Hamilton Island Airport, and the aircraft covered a distance of 23 meters. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 12 nautical miles and used 5 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 12 minutes.

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully executed a landing at Hamilton Island Airport in Queensland, Australia, despite being 6 miles north of the actual airport. The pilot's skills were put to the test as they navigated the aircraft through the descent phase, achieving a remarkable decrease in altitude from 14 feet above ground level (agl) to 0 ft agl in just 7 seconds.
The touchdown speed of 40 knots was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and avoided any excessive speed that could have compromised the safety of the landing. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -90 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to smoothly and gently bring the aircraft to the ground. The touchdown distance of 174 meters was also deemed good, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind component was relatively minor at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have actually aided the pilot in maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 0 feet above sea level (asl). The distance covered during the rollout was a relatively short 23 meters, indicating that the pilot had successfully brought the aircraft to a stop in a controlled and safe manner. Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was impressive, and the aircraft's systems functioned as intended to ensure a safe and successful outcome.
