The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 4,449 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,449 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 891 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Catalina Airport (KAVX) took less than a minute, covering a short distance of less than one nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 22, with the SR22 aircraft accelerating to a liftoff speed of 92 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,841 feet represented 62% of the available runway length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 59°F and a gentle headwind of 8 knots from a direction of 230°.
As the aircraft climbed away from KAVX, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,910 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 8,511 feet. This climb phase, which lasted six minutes, covered a distance of 14 nautical miles and resulted in an altitude gain of 6,602 feet. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, reducing altitude from 8,492 feet to 1,542 feet over a distance of 14 nautical miles in six minutes. The final approach to runway 29R at Zamperini Field (KTOA) was initiated from a position five miles southeast of the airfield, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at a height of 1,452 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 29R was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 62 knots and a touchdown distance of 888 feet, representing 42% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate of -74 feet per minute was excellent, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in a very good alignment, with the total landing distance of 1,630 feet being well within the available runway length of 3,912 feet. The total flight distance of 44 nautical miles was completed in 19 minutes, with no fuel being consumed during the flight.
The final approach to runway 29R at KTOA Zamperini Field from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 308.0° at 4 nm and 1,452 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 74 kt, indicating a slight deceleration prior to touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 888 ft, and the touchdown speed of 62 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -74 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind of 11 kt at 285°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,630 ft, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centerline. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 94.5%.
