The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at CYXL Sioux Lookout Airport, where the Kodiak 100 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,103 ft, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 83 kt, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude.

As the aircraft entered the local traffic pattern, it made a left-hand pattern entry from runway 16, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 51 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, taking less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a heading of 133.4 degrees.

Upon completing the downwind turn, the aircraft began its approach to runway 16, which had a length of 5,011 ft. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 81 kt. The touchdown distance was also good at 951 ft, but the touchdown speed of 70 kt was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was fair at -206 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 ft from the centreline.

The local weather conditions during the approach and landing were characterized by a temperature of 74 °F and a wind speed of 13 kt at 200 °, with a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 10 kt. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, considering the conditions. The total flight distance was 4 nm, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used 36 lbs of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16 at CYXL Sioux Lookout Airport in the Kodiak 100

Landing Score 98.35 %

Landing Summary

The landing of the Kodiak 100 aircraft at Sioux Lookout Airport (CYXL) was evaluated with a score of 98.3%. The aircraft successfully landed on runway 16, which has a length of 5,011 feet. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient clearance to safely navigate the aircraft during the approach.

However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 81 knots. This may indicate that the pilot was a bit aggressive with the approach, but it did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing. The touchdown distance of 951 feet was considered good, suggesting that the pilot had a solid understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it in smoothly.

Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was reported as fast. This may indicate that the pilot could have benefited from a slightly more gradual descent to reduce the speed at touchdown. The touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent, but may have been able to do so more smoothly.

One notable issue with the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline. This may indicate that the pilot was not fully focused on maintaining a straight course during the approach, or that there was some issue with the aircraft's navigation systems.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 74°F and winds of 13 knots at 200°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions were likely manageable for the pilot, but may have still presented some challenges during the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement that the pilot could focus on in the future.
