Departing from Kenmore Air Harbor LLC Seaplane Base, the DHC-2 Beaver began its takeoff roll on runway 21, utilizing 1,605 feet of the available 2,470 feet. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 75 knots, clearing the ground with a minimal margin. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 60°F and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 615 feet above sea level to 978 feet, a gain of 362 feet in just one minute. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes as it traversed 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18W at Seattle Seaplanes Seaplane Base was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 68 feet above ground level.

The approach was interrupted by a go-around, with the aircraft lifting off from 19 feet above ground level. Upon re-initiating the approach, the DHC-2 Beaver landed on runway 18W, which measured 5,040 feet in length. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute was satisfactory. However, the touchdown point was 478 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 84 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance of 2,568 feet, accounting for 51% of the available runway, was notable, as was the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 95 feet from the centerline. The total flight distance of 10 nautical miles was achieved in 9 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 21 pounds of fuel.

Landing Score 52.78 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 18W at 0W0 Seattle Seaplanes Seaplane Base was initiated from the north east, heading 202.0° at 0 nm and 68 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was a little below target at 61 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the desired landing speed.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 478 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 69 kt was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -177 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 84 ft from the centreline, which was also reflected in the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 95 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60°F and a light wind of 2 kt at 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.

The total landing distance of 2,568 ft was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 66.1%. However, there were some deviations from the desired landing parameters, including the threshold speed and touchdown speed, which will need to be addressed in future training sessions.
