Top opportunity

Improve the pattern base leg turn

Pattern Base Leg Turn

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 208B taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 75 kt and became airborne after a takeoff run of 337 m, representing 9 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 14 °C with a wind from 200° at 10 kt, including an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component.

The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern for runway 23L, flying a distance of less than 1 nm in 64 seconds before commencing the cross-wind segment.

The left-hand cross-wind leg was flown for 1 nm and was completed in 41 seconds.

A downwind turn was executed, covering 2 nm while turning to an angle of 106.8° relative to the runway heading.

The downwind leg extended for 3 nm and was flown in 91 seconds.

Subsequently, the base-leg turn was performed over a distance of 2 nm, aligning the aircraft to an angle of 9.3° to the runway.

On final approach from the east, the aircraft was established on a heading of 254.0° at 1 nm and 461 ft AGL; it then descended from 932 ft AGL to 64 ft AGL in 90 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.

Touchdown occurred on runway 23L, whose total length is 3 671 m; the threshold speed was 68 kt, the touchdown point was 462 m from the threshold at a speed of 60 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 186 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 5.9 m to the right of the centreline. Weather at landing was 13 °C with a wind from 200° at 16 kt, including a 12 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt head-wind component.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 892 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and the aircraft remained well aligned with the centreline during deceleration.

In total, the flight covered 10 nm, required a duration of 6 (unspecified units), and consumed 19 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 208B entered the final approach to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport from the east on a heading of 254.0° at 1 NM and 461 ft agl, descending from 932 ft agl to 64 ft agl in 90 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 68 kt; the flare was executed with the aircraft maintaining the indicated parameters while the local weather was 13 °C with a wind of 16 kt from 200°, comprising a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.

Touchdown occurred 462 m down the runway at a speed of 60 kt, both judged good, with a touchdown rate of minus 186 fpm also good; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.9 m from the centreline.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 892 m, representing 24 % of the 3 671 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

To raise the overall score, focus on reducing the 5.9 m centreline deviation at touchdown by refining the aim point and flare timing, which will tighten alignment without altering speed or rate.
