Next time

Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

What happened: The flare began late at 0.7 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at PADK Adak Airport, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 434 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed out of Adak, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 702 feet above sea level to 3,464 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles. The aircraft flew east of Adak, taking advantage of the favorable winds and weather conditions.

As the flight continued, the aircraft began its descent towards PAAK Atka Airport, a small airfield located on the island of Atka. The descent started 8 miles west of the airport and took the aircraft from 2,586 feet above sea level to 1,899 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began another cruise, this time flying northwest of the airport. However, the descent resumed shortly after, and the aircraft touched down on runway 16 at PAAK Atka Airport.

The final approach to runway 16 was from the north, with the aircraft heading 157.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,112 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 57 knots. However, the touchdown rate was heavy, at -722 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline. The total landing distance was 600 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 96 nautical miles, and the flight lasted for 55 minutes. The aircraft used 33 kilograms of fuel during the flight, a relatively modest amount considering the distance traveled. Overall, the flight was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and the aircraft performing well in the challenging Alaskan weather conditions.

Landing report
Landing on runway 16 at PAAK Atka Airport in the Cessna 172
Landing Score 76.12 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at PAAK Atka Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 157.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,112 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 1,362 meters.

Upon analysis, it appears that the threshold height at 141 feet agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 57 knots, which is a good sign. The touchdown distance of 357 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 57 knots was good as well.

Despite these positive aspects, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -722 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft was descending too rapidly during the approach. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centreline, which could have been caused by a slight deviation in the approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind. These conditions would not have significantly impacted the landing.

The total landing distance of 600 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centreline, which may indicate that the aircraft was not perfectly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the threshold height and touchdown rate. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot can aim to achieve a more precise and controlled landing.
