Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Valdez Pioneer Field, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. It was a momentous occasion as the aircraft began its departure roll from runway 24.

With the local weather conditions being 55 °F and winds at 5 kt from 89 °, the aircraft's liftoff speed was a moderate 150 kt. The takeoff distance of 3,485 ft was 54% of the available runway length. This marked the beginning of the flight's journey to Kodiak Airport.

Enroute climb started 1 mile east of Valdez, where the aircraft ascended from 1,028 ft above sea level (asl) to 42,439 ft asl, a remarkable increase of 41,411 ft in a mere 18 minutes. This grueling climb covered 113 nautical miles. The climb was a crucial phase of the flight, where the aircraft gained altitude rapidly in preparation for the long journey ahead.

However, the climb was soon followed by an enroute level cruise that lasted for a fleeting 3 minutes, covering a paltry 29 nautical miles 11 miles south of Seward. The brevity of this cruise was soon followed by an enroute descent that began 26 miles north west of ZM02 Gulf of Alaska Moving Carrier - CVN76.

The descent from 41,870 ft asl to 4,962 ft asl was an impressive decrease of 36,908 ft in 16 minutes, covering a staggering 107 nautical miles. The aircraft then continued its journey with a short enroute level cruise that lasted a mere 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles 12 miles south east of Kitoi Bay Seaplane Base Kitoi Bay.

As the aircraft approached its final destination, it began another enroute descent 10 miles east of Ouzinkie Airport. This descent from 4,185 ft asl to 1,512 ft asl was a decrease of 2,672 ft in just 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then continued its level cruise for 6 minutes, covering a meager 3 nautical miles 4 miles east of Kodiak Municipal Airport.

The final approach to runway 26 at Kodiak Airport from the east, heading 281.0 °, was a complex procedure. Although the aircraft touched down safely, it did so in excess of the target threshold height, speed, and rate of descent. The touchdown point was also significantly long, using over half the available runway.

The local weather conditions during landing were 52 °F and winds at 9 kt from 9 °, with a crosswind of 8 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance was 6,023 ft, which was 95% of the available runway length.

The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in a mere 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. In total, the flight used 1,907 lbs of fuel, covering a total distance of 283 nautical miles in a flight duration of 61 minutes.

Landing Summary

Aircraft C750 has successfully landed at PADQ Kodiak Airport, however, the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 26 from the east, heading 281.0°, was completed at a distance of 2 nautical miles with an altitude of 1,099 feet above ground level (agl). This suggests that the aircraft successfully initiated its descent to prepare for landing but may have encountered some challenges upon touchdown.

Upon analyzing the aircraft's performance, several issues arose with the landing itself. The threshold height at 116 feet agl was excessively high compared to the target, indicating that the aircraft may have descended too late or not at the optimal rate. Additionally, the threshold speed of 159 kt was significantly higher than expected, which could compromise the aircraft's ability to control during landing.

Moreover, the touchdown point exceeded the 50% mark of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft touched down relatively far down the runway. With a touchdown speed of 123 kt, the aircraft was also moving at a relatively fast pace, which could contribute to a harsh touchdown experience for the passengers. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -558 fpm suggests an extremely hard landing, which may cause unnecessary stress on the aircraft's structural components and potentially pose a risk to the safety of the occupants.

In addition to these issues, the runway touchdown position was off-center by 52 feet, indicating that the aircraft did not align itself perfectly with the centerline of the runway. During the rollout, the aircraft continued to drift slightly off-center by 39 feet, which can be attributed to the misaligned touchdown.

The landing was carried out in moderately favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 52°F and a relatively light wind of 9 kt at 9°. The wind, however, was blowing across the runway (referred to as a crosswind) at 8 kt, while a small tailwind of 1 kt also played a minor role. Despite these wind conditions, the aircraft appeared to have struggled with maintaining a stable course, leading to the numerous issues observed during the landing.
