The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at the Bruce McPhail Memorial Airport, where the aircraft, a DHC-2 Beaver, took off with a takeoff distance of 151 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 238 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed en route, it started overhead the Haley Station in Ontario, Canada, and ascended from an initial altitude of 749 feet above sea level to 562 feet above sea level, a gain of 186 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was smooth and efficient, setting the stage for a successful landing.
Upon approaching the Bruce McPhail Memorial Airport for touchdown, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 25 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level, a decrease of 25 feet in just 4 seconds. The touchdown speed was 58 knots, which was considered good, but the touchdown rate was hard at -463 feet per minute, indicating a slightly rough landing. The touchdown distance was, however, good at 145 meters.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout at the Bruce McPhail Memorial Airport, where it reached an altitude of 524 feet above sea level. The distance covered during the rollout was 290 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 239 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
In conclusion, the flight was a short one, covering a total distance of 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes, and using 4 kilograms of fuel. The aircraft performed well throughout the flight, with a smooth takeoff, efficient climb, and good landing.

The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at Bruce McPhail Memorial Airport, achieving a score of 75.2%. The approach to touchdown was executed smoothly, with the aircraft descending from 25 feet above ground level (agl) to 0 ft agl in a span of 4 seconds, resulting in a decrease of 25 feet. This indicates a controlled and stable descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 58 knots, which is considered good. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a descent rate of -463 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have touched down slightly more aggressively than intended. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 145 meters was deemed good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and avoided any significant deviations from the intended landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 239°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to pose any significant challenges for the pilot, and the landing was executed successfully.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was observed, with the aircraft maintaining an altitude of 524 feet above sea level (asl) and covering a distance of 290 meters. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance, indicating good control and braking performance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, despite some minor issues with the touchdown rate.
