Departure
Arrival
A Cessna Skyhawk departed from the Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, navigating towards the Dove Island Lodge Seaplane Base, located 12 miles north of the airport. The aircraft initiated its enroute climb approximately 7 miles south east of the seaplane base, ascending from an initial altitude of 4,800 feet above sea level to 3,724 feet, a vertical gain of 1,077 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.
As the aircraft approached the Dove Island Lodge Seaplane Base, it began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 3,674 feet to 561 feet in 5 minutes, a decrease of 3,114 feet. This descent phase spanned 7 nautical miles, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's rate of descent. Upon reaching the designated altitude, the aircraft transitioned into the final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 29 at the Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport. The aircraft maintained a heading of 311.0° and descended to an altitude of 528 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
The Cessna Skyhawk landed safely on runway 29, with a touchdown speed of 51 knots and a touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 755 feet was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 279°, contributed to a smooth landing. The total landing distance of 1,478 feet accounted for 23% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was excellent. The flight utilized 10 nautical miles of distance and consumed 158 pounds of fuel, demonstrating the aircraft's efficiency and the pilot's skill in managing the flight.

Flaps Fully Retracted at 13:50:34 |
The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 29 at PASI Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, showcasing a commendable approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 528 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, aligning with the intended heading of 311.0°. The approach was executed in a favorable local weather condition, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 279°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind of 1 kt each.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory threshold height and speed, with a threshold speed of 61 kt being well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 755 feet was also within the expected parameters, and the touchdown speed of 51 kt was consistent with the desired rate. The touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, which could be attributed to minor deviations in the approach or landing technique.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the runway centreline, showcasing a high degree of control and precision. The total landing distance of 1,478 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance of the Cessna Skyhawk was satisfactory, with a final score of 94.3%. The minor deviations in the approach and touchdown position did not significantly impact the overall outcome, and the aircraft's ability to maintain control and alignment during the rollout phase was commendable.
