Departure Roll

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.

Landing report
Landing on runway 29 at MDST Cibao International Airport in the Pilatus PC-6
Landing Score 99.29 %
Landing Summary

The Pilatus PC-6 aircraft successfully landed at MDST Cibao International Airport, achieving a score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 29 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 284.0° at an altitude of 131 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 63 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly late in initiating the flare. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 266 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 48 knots was also good.

The touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired range, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 1 knot, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown on the runway.
