Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at YLHI Lord Howe Island Airport took less than a minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 28, utilizing 24% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 75 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C, with a light headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 269°.

As the aircraft climbed away from Lord Howe Island, it transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 580 feet above sea level to 1,656 feet, a vertical gain of 1,076 feet, in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude for 4 minutes while covering a further 7 nautical miles. The enroute cruise phase was conducted 2 miles south of Lord Howe Island.

The final approach to runway 28 at YLHI Lord Howe Island Airport was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 823 feet above ground level to touch down before the threshold. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -112 feet per minute was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the subsequent rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance of 128 meters, equivalent to 16% of the available runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and control. The total flight distance of 12 nautical miles was completed in 8 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 82 kilograms.
