Hold the approach speed

Arrival Final 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

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at the Soldier Bar US Forest Service Airport, where the aircraft, a Kitfox, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 42 kt. The takeoff distance was 220 ft, which accounted for 16% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 59 °F and a wind speed of 7 kt from 239 °, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a tailwind of 6 kt.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Soldier Bar US Forest Service Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 4,440 ft asl to a final altitude of 5,174 ft asl, an increase of 735 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nm.

The enroute descent phase began overhead the Taylor Ranch Landing Area Airport in Moscow, Idaho, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 5,355 ft asl to 4,269 ft asl, a decrease of 1,087 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. The final approach to runway 03 at the I08 Cabin Creek US Forest Service Airport was made from the southwest, heading 33.0 ° at an altitude of -20 ft agl.

The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 62 ft and a touchdown speed of 48 kt. The touchdown rate was perfect at 28 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 °F and a wind speed of 6 kt from 238 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kt and a tailwind of 5 kt.

The total landing distance was 666 ft, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline. The total flight distance was 7 nm, and the flight duration was 10 minutes, during which the aircraft used 6 lbs of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question is a Kitfox, which successfully landed at I08 Cabin Creek US Forest Service Airport. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 33.0° at an altitude of 0 nm and -20 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 1,387 ft.

The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed of 49 kt was well below the target speed, indicating a controlled approach. However, the pilot was cautioned to avoid stalling, as the speed was relatively low. The touchdown distance of 62 ft was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 48 kt was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of 28 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

Despite the successful landing, there were some minor issues with the alignment of the aircraft. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 41 ft from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline. However, these misalignments did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 6 kt from 238°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, and the tailwind component was 5 kt. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to successfully navigate the aircraft to the runway.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a total landing distance of 666 ft, which is 48% of the runway length. While there were some minor issues with alignment, the pilot's skills and the favorable weather conditions contributed to a safe and controlled landing.
