The flight began with a departure roll from runway 15 at KFOH Fort Thompson Airport. The aircraft, a DHC-2 Beaver, took off with a takeoff distance of 481 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and no headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 2,083 feet above sea level from an initial altitude of 1,925 feet. This increase of 158 feet was achieved in less than one minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The climb was initiated overhead KFOH Fort Thompson Airport, located in Fort Thompson, South Dakota, United States.
The final approach to landing was conducted from a distance of one nautical mile to another one nautical mile, at an altitude of 731 feet above ground level. The approach was made to a landing site located one mile south of Fort Thompson. As the aircraft descended towards the landing site, it reduced its altitude from 46 feet above ground level to zero feet in a matter of seconds.
The touchdown occurred one mile south of Fort Thompson, with a touchdown speed of 107 knots, which was excessively fast. The touchdown rate was also very heavy, at -2,929 feet per minute. However, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 56 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a tailwind of 1 knot.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it covered a distance of 112 meters and reached an altitude of 1,348 feet above sea level. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was two minutes. The aircraft used a total of -124 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft has successfully landed at a location 1 mile south of Fort Thompson in South Dakota, United States. The final approach to landing was conducted from a distance of 1 nautical mile, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 731 feet above ground level (agl) to 46 feet agl before touching down. However, the descent was extremely rapid, with a decrease of 46 feet in altitude in a matter of seconds, indicating a potentially hazardous rate of descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 107 knots, which is considered excessively fast for a safe landing. This excessive speed resulted in a very heavy touchdown rate of -2,929 feet per minute (fpm), which can put a significant amount of stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to damage or loss of control. Fortunately, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 56 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, which likely contributed to the aircraft's excessive speed during touchdown.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was conducted at an altitude of 1,348 feet above sea level (asl), with a distance of 112 meters. This indicates that the aircraft was able to come to a stop relatively quickly after touchdown, although the excessive speed during touchdown may have required additional braking effort.
Overall, while the DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at the designated location, the excessive speed during touchdown and rapid rate of descent during the final approach to landing raise concerns about the pilot's technique and the aircraft's handling characteristics.
