Top opportunity

Hold the approach speed

Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at I08 Cabin Creek US Forest Service Airport. The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 231 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 312 degrees, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and no headwind.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead the Big Creek Ranger Station, located near the airport. The climb began at an altitude of 4,366 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 4,469 feet, an increase of 104 feet in just 1 minute. The aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile during this climb.

During the flight, the aircraft encountered a go-around at Vines Airstrip, where it climbed to an altitude of 356 feet above ground level. The final approach to landing at Vines Airstrip was made from an altitude of 240 feet above ground level, and the aircraft descended to a touchdown altitude of 0 feet in just 2 seconds. The touchdown speed was 52 knots, which was considered good, but the touchdown rate was very heavy at -805 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 69 meters.

Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout at Vines Airstrip, where it reached an altitude of 4,107 feet above sea level. The distance covered during the rollout was 79 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 231 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 4-knot headwind.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 3 nautical miles and lasted for 3 minutes, consuming 3 kilograms of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway XX at Vines Airstrip in the DHC-2 Beaver
Landing Score 76.43 %
Landing Summary

The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at Vines Airstrip, achieving a score of 76.4%. The final approach to landing was conducted from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 240 ft above ground level (agl). As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 40 ft agl to 0 ft agl, indicating a steep rate of descent.

The descent rate was particularly notable, with a decrease of 40 ft in just 2 seconds. This rapid descent suggests that the pilot may have been attempting to touch down as quickly as possible, which could be a contributing factor to the heavy touchdown rate. The touchdown speed of 52 kn was considered good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the approach.

However, the touchdown rate was very heavy, at -805 fpm. This is significantly higher than the typical touchdown rate for a DHC-2 Beaver, which is usually around -200 to -300 fpm. A heavy touchdown rate can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and can also increase the risk of damage to the aircraft.

Despite the heavy touchdown rate, the touchdown distance was good, at 69 m. This suggests that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft and had not over-extended the landing gear. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 °C and a wind speed of 4 kn at 231 °. The crosswind component was 2 kn, while the headwind component was 4 kn.

Following the touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, during which it traveled a distance of 79 m at an altitude of 4,107 ft above sea level (asl). The landing rollout distance was slightly longer than the touchdown distance, which is not uncommon. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and maintained a safe touchdown.
