The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Microsoft Aircraft PA-28-236 Dakota, then departed from runway 14 at YBHM Hamilton Island Airport. The takeoff distance was 170 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 64 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead YBHM Hamilton Island Airport and ascending from 832 feet above sea level to 3,435 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,603 feet in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, starting 5 miles south east of YSHR Shute Harbour/Whitsunday Airport and ascending from 3,631 feet above sea level to 4,439 feet above sea level, an increase of 809 feet in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting 5 miles south of Jubilee Pocket and descending from 4,709 feet above sea level to 465 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,245 feet in 4 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 32 at YSHR Shute Harbour/Whitsunday Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 330 degrees at an altitude of 377 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed on runway 32, which has a length of 1,221 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 77 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 429 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 62 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -297 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, and there was no headwind component. The total landing distance was 975 meters, which is 80% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

In conclusion, the flight was completed in 15 minutes, covering a total distance of 20 nautical miles and using 6 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 32 at YSHR Shute Harbour/Whitsunday Airport in the microsoft-aircraft-pa28-236-dakota [FRNGS]

Landing Score 89.42 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Microsoft-simulated PA28-236 Dakota, successfully landed at YSHR Shute Harbour/Whitsunday Airport, with a final approach from the south east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 377 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The pilot maintained a heading of 330.0°, which is aligned with the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 32, which has a length of 1,221 meters. The threshold height, which is the height at which the aircraft should touch down, was above the target height at 62 feet agl. However, the threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should touch down, was slightly above the target speed at 77 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 429 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 62 knots.

The touchdown rate, which is the rate at which the aircraft descends during landing, was fair at -297 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down slightly harder than desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a very slight headwind component, but no significant crosswind. The total landing distance was 975 meters, which is 80% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were a few minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
