Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections to track the centreline against a point at the far end of the runway.

What happened: The takeoff roll drifted 9.7 m off the centreline, and a heading variation of 1.9° usually follows into the initial climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings-level runway heading held through the climb

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

Departing from Herowena Airstrip (AYHX), the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 35, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 68 kt in a distance of 390 m, which accounted for 71% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 1 nm and the downwind leg in 45 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nm. The base leg turn was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining an angle of 43.5° to the runway. The final approach was initiated from a heading of 349.0°, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 123 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 0 nm from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 63 kt, slightly below the target value, and a touchdown distance of 17 m, which was considered good.

The aircraft landed on runway 35, with a total landing distance of 225 m, accounting for 41% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 5.3 m from the centreline. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The total flight distance was 5 nm, covering a distance of 4 nm in a duration of 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 10 kg.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 35 at AYHX Herowena Airstrip, with a threshold height that met expectations. The threshold speed of 63 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 17 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 63 kt was also well within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -180 fpm was satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent.

The aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was slightly off at touchdown, with a deviation of 5.3 m. However, the rollout phase was executed perfectly, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the centreline throughout. The total landing distance of 225 m was 41% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.

Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 96.7%. The approach quality was satisfactory, and the pilot's control and decision-making during the landing phase were sound. The slight deviation from the centreline at touchdown was the only notable issue, but it did not have a significant impact on the overall performance of the landing.
