This flight was conducted in a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft, which took off from runway 27 at the MI71 Silver Lake Airport. The departure roll was smooth, and the aircraft lifted off after a takeoff distance of 436 feet, which is 11 per cent of the available runway. The liftoff speed was maintained at 89 kt, indicating a safe and stable departure.
The enroute climb started immediately after clearing the airport obstacles, and the aircraft ascended to an altitude of 2,672 feet. This climb was quite steep, with an increase of 1,463 feet in just 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 6 nm during this climb. The climb profile was impressive, with the aircraft reaching the desired altitude quickly and efficiently.
After the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it maintained an altitude of 2,672 feet for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nm. This cruise phase seemed to be an efficient part of the flight, as the aircraft maintained speed and altitude without any issues.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting 1 mile northwest of the 2MI6 The Farm Airport. The descent was a controlled and safe one, with the aircraft losing an altitude of 1,745 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm. This descent profile was also quite steep, but the aircraft's rate of descent was smooth.
The final approach to runway 22 at 2MI6 The Farm Airport was started from the northeast, at a heading of 218.0 degrees. The approach was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft descending at a smooth rate. The touchdown distance on the runway was 568 feet, which is slightly longer than the available runway length. However, the touchdown speed of 70 kt was a bit fast, and the aircraft touched down in a slightly nose-low attitude.
The runway touchdown alignment was good, and the aircraft came to a stop smoothly without any issues. The total flight distance was 13 nm, which was achieved in 7 minutes. The aircraft consumed 10 lbs of fuel during the flight, indicating an efficient fuel consumption. The local weather conditions remained the same throughout the flight, with a temperature of 58 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind of 11 kt at 277 degrees.

On this flight, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at 2M16 The Farm Airport from the north-east, approaching the runway from a heading of 218.0°. The aircraft's altitude at the start of the final approach was 74 feet above ground level (agl) and was initially 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
During the landing, the pilot successfully controlled the aircraft's speed, maintaining a threshold speed of 77 knots. The touchdown distance, measuring 568 feet, fell within a safe range, given the runway's length of 2,425 feet. This indicates a well-executed flare, as the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down sufficiently to reduce the landing distance.
While the landing was largely successful, there were a few areas for improvement. The pilot touched down at a speed of 70 knots, which is slightly higher than ideal for a smooth touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -112 feet per minute (fpm) was still considered smooth and did not pose any safety risks.
The runway was aligned properly with the aircraft at the point of touchdown, which was a significant factor in the successful landing. Additionally, the pilot effectively took into account the local wind conditions, with a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft's overall airspeed and the ground speed, influenced by the wind conditions, were well-managed during the approach and landing.
Under the given weather conditions, with a temperature of 58°F and wind at 11 knots from a direction of 277°, the pilot successfully navigated the aircraft to a safe touchdown. Overall, this landing was deemed a success, with a high score of 98.7% achieved.
