The flight began with the departure of a Britten Norman Maritime Defender aircraft from Rockhampton Airport, where it rolled out on runway 15. The takeoff distance covered 897 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 84 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 2 knots. The climb started overhead The Range in the State of Queensland, Australia, and the aircraft ascended from 518 feet above sea level to 4,796 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,278 feet in just 4 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered 7 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began 2 miles west of Parkhurst and lasted for 65 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent overhead Sarina Beach, where it descended from 4,829 feet above sea level to 844 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,985 feet in 7 minutes. The descent covered 14 nautical miles.

The aircraft then leveled off 2 miles east of Paget and remained at that altitude for 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 at Mackay Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading at 145.0 degrees at an altitude of 307 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 14 at Mackay Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 67 knots. The touchdown distance was 209 meters, which was good, and the touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 73 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 146 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 369 meters, which was 19% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 155 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes. The aircraft used 75 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 14 at YBMK Mackay Airport in the Britten Norman Maritime Defender

Landing Score 96.18 %

Landing Summary

The Britten Norman Maritime Defender aircraft successfully landed at YBMK Mackay Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 145.0° at an altitude of 307 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 73 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 209 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 67 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing.

The touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently. Nevertheless, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots from a direction of 146°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.

The total landing distance of 369 meters was relatively short, accounting for only 19% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a very good runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to rest in a safe and controlled manner.
