The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport, a small airport located on the island of Saba in the Caribbean Netherlands. The aircraft, a DHC-6, took off with a takeoff distance of 164 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 106 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport and lasted for 1 minute, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,011 feet above sea level to 2,118 feet, an increase of 1,108 feet. The climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of the airport and lasted for 10 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a final approach to runway 06 at F.D. Roosevelt Airport, which was located to the southwest of the aircraft's position.

The final approach was made at a heading of 5.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 2 nautical miles from the airport when it began its descent. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 1,303 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 75 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 295 meters, and the touchdown speed was 60 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 106 degrees.

The crosswind component was 9 knots, and the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 568 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.9 meters. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -131 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 06 at TNCE F. D. Roosevelt Airport in the DHC-6

Landing Score 91.77 %

Landing Summary

The DHC-6 aircraft successfully landed at TNCE F. D. Roosevelt Airport, achieving a score of 91.8%. The final approach to runway 06 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 5.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,303 meters, with a good threshold height.

The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 knots, but the touchdown distance of 295 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly hard landing.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 29°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 106°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.

The total landing distance of 568 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.9 meters, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
