The flight began with a departure roll from runway 14 at CYGE Golden Airport, a Beechcraft Duke aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance covered 75% of the runway, which was 3,373 feet long. The liftoff speed was 99 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots at 116 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed out of Golden, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, rising from an altitude of 3,571 feet above sea level to 9,535 feet above sea level. This increase of 5,965 feet was achieved in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The climb was a steep one, showcasing the capabilities of the Beechcraft Duke.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 10 miles east of Golden. This phase lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 29 nautical miles. The cruise phase was a stable and efficient part of the flight, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady pace.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 13 miles west of Banff, Alberta. The descent was from an altitude of 9,530 feet above sea level to 5,284 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,246 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The descent was a controlled and smooth part of the flight, bringing the aircraft closer to its final destination.

The final approach to runway 18 at CYBA Banff Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 204.0 degrees at an altitude of 683 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on a runway that was 2,840 feet long, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 82 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 330 feet, and the touchdown speed was 76 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -339 feet per minute, indicating a controlled and stable landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 36 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots at 242 degrees.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 55 nautical miles, taking 23 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 18 at CYBA Banff Airport in the Beechcraft Duke

Landing Score 89.16 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at CYBA Banff Airport, achieving a score of 89.2%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 204.0° at 1 nautical mile and 683 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's decision to land on runway 18, which has a length of 2,840 feet, was a good choice given the aircraft's capabilities.

Upon touchdown, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of safe landing operations. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 82 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's cautious approach to ensure a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 330 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase.

The touchdown speed of 76 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -339 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 19 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 242°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing. Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 18 at CYBA Banff Airport.
