Top opportunity

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Piedmont Triad International Airport, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23L, with a takeoff distance of 1,836 meters, which is 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 129 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 4 miles southeast of Kernersville, North Carolina. The climb was from an altitude of 1,922 feet above sea level to 3,439 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,517 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles east of Wallburg, North Carolina, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile north of Jamestown, North Carolina, and descended from an altitude of 3,408 feet above sea level to 1,659 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,749 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Greensboro, North Carolina, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23L at Piedmont Triad International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 226.0 degrees, at an altitude of 388 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 23L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 285 meters and a touchdown speed of 117 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -265 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 269 degrees.

Landing report
Landing on runway 23L at KGSO Piedmont Triad International Airport in the Honda HA-420
Landing Score 97.2 %
Landing Summary

The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at Piedmont Triad International Airport (KGSO) on runway 23L, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 226.0° at 2 nautical miles and 388 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the designated runway.

The runway length at KGSO is 3,046 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the Honda HA420 to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 116 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the approach.

The touchdown distance of 285 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was slightly too fast, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. The touchdown rate of -265 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing relatively smoothly.

The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and winds of 3 knots at 269°. The crosswind and headwind components were both minimal, at 2 knots each, which likely contributed to the smoothness of the landing.

Overall, the Honda HA420 aircraft demonstrated good performance and control during the landing at KGSO, achieving a high score of 97.2%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, the aircraft was able to land safely and effectively, thanks in part to the good runway alignment and minimal wind conditions.
