Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 9.8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.3°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing from Herowena Airstrip (AYHX), the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 35, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 71 kt in a distance of 435 m, which accounted for 79% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 78 seconds. Subsequent turns and legs of the pattern were similarly executed, with the aircraft maintaining a steady pace and adhering to the prescribed procedures. Upon reaching the final approach to runway 17, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 537 ft agl, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 173.0°. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target, at 73 kt, and a touchdown distance of 136 m, which represented 64% of the available runway length.

The landing was characterized by a slightly fast touchdown speed of 67 kt, but a perfect touchdown rate of 102 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre by 9.6 m. Despite these minor deviations, the aircraft's overall performance was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 350 m and a fuel consumption of 8 kg for the 3nm flight, which took approximately 4 minutes to complete.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 17 at AYHX Herowena Airstrip, demonstrating a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 73 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. The touchdown distance of 136 m was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 67 kt was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more controlled descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a perfect touchdown rate of 102 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 m from the centreline, which could have been avoided with more precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt at 269 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.

The total landing distance of 350 m was 64% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline, indicating that the pilot could have maintained a more consistent alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 87.3%, but there is room for improvement in terms of approach speed and centreline alignment.
