Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,111 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 85 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at CYQG Windsor Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 168 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 79 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots from a direction of 315 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 24 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
After taking off, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, which it completed in a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The pattern crosswind was also from the right, and the aircraft navigated this section in less than 1 nautical mile in 2 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, which required a distance of 0 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 149.3 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 1 nautical mile long and took 32 seconds to complete.
The pilot then turned onto the base leg, which was 1 nautical mile long and required a distance of 1 nautical mile. The angle to the runway during this turn was 28.2 degrees, and the base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 4 seconds. The final turn was also less than 1 nautical mile in 33 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 25 from the north-east, heading 242.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 376 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 83 meters, which was well within the runway length of 2,111 meters. The touchdown speed was 50 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots from a direction of 315 degrees.
The total landing distance was 341 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight took 3 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of -41 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at CYQG Windsor Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 242.0° at 1 nautical mile and 376 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is essential for a safe landing.
Upon reaching the threshold speed of 60 knots, the pilot was reminded to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was well below the target. The touchdown distance of 83 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 50 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm).
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 5.4 meters off the centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind, which was 24 knots, and the headwind, which was 7 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 25 knots at 315°, may have also contributed to the slight misalignment.
Despite the minor deviation, the pilot demonstrated excellent control during the rollout, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the runway. The total landing distance of 341 meters was only 16% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
