Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,015 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,511 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 414A, then departed from runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,349 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 100 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 56°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing from KSFZ, with the climb starting overhead the airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,098 feet above sea level to 5,052 feet, an increase of 3,955 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Rehoboth, Massachusetts. This phase lasted for 37 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southeast of Bourne, Massachusetts. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,934 feet above sea level to 153 feet, a decrease of 4,781 feet, in 6 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 232.0° at an altitude of 105 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 82 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,509 feet, which was good, but the touchdown speed was a little fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at -39 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 54°F. The total landing distance was 2,626 feet, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 59 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 23 minutes. The aircraft used 83 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 414A aircraft successfully landed at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport, achieving a score of 98.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 232.0° at an altitude of 105 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway during the descent.
However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was too high at 103 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 82 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of -39 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 54°F. The total landing distance of 2,626 feet was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot made a smooth and controlled transition from the landing to the taxi phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
