Know your rotation speed

Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll on runway 09 at the KSJX Beaver Island Airport. With a temperature of 63°F and a wind blowing 14 knots at 80 degrees, the aircraft faced a moderate crosswind of 3 knots but a significant headwind of 14 knots. The takeoff distance of 792 feet, which is 18% of the runway, was achieved with a liftoff speed of 72 knots.

As the aircraft lifted off, it immediately began to climb, reaching an altitude of 1,906 feet above sea level after just 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was followed by a short, 5-minute cruise at level pitch at an altitude of 1,906 feet, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.

As it continued on its route, the aircraft began its initial descent, starting 5 miles northeast of the 6Y3 North Fox Island Airport. It descended from an altitude of 2,052 feet above sea level, a decrease of 533 feet over 2 minutes and a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then resumed a level cruise at an altitude of 1,520 feet, maintaining this pitch for 3 minutes as it traveled 5 nautical miles. Shortly after, the aircraft continued its descent, this time from 1,469 feet to 625 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles as it approached the 3MI2 South Fox Island Airport.

However, instead of landing at the South Fox Island Airport, the aircraft continued on to the Y04 Sugar Loaf Resort Airport. It began its approach to runway 02, a heading of 23.0 degrees with an airspeed of 0 knots at an altitude of 219 feet above ground level. Unfortunately, the go-around maneuver was initiated at a height of 0 feet above ground level, indicating a close and potentially hazardous encounter with the ground.

Despite the brief moment where the aircraft was in danger of impacting the ground, the pilot successfully recovered altitude and continued with the approach. Final touchdown occurred on runway 02, with a threshold speed of 61 knots, a touchdown speed of 53 knots, and an optimal touchdown rate of -59 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the landing distance of 1,311 feet, which is 45% of the runway, was an excellent achievement.

With perfect runway rollout alignment and no reported issues, the flight came to a smooth stop, concluding a successful landing.

Landing Score 98.67 %
Landing Summary

On a recent landing at Y04 Sugar Loaf Resort Airport, a Cessna C182 executed a flawless approach and touched down safely on runway 02. The aircraft was descending from an altitude of 219 feet above ground level (agl) while flying at a heading of 23.0 °, with its position mere seconds away from the threshold of the runway.

The aircraft's final approach was a testament to its precision, scoring a respectable 98.7% as it lined up with the runway's centerline and made preparations for touchdown. The crew took advantage of the favorable wind conditions, which were blowing at a gentle 10 kt from a direction of 68 °, resulting in a 7 kt headwind that aided the aircraft's descent and roll-in speed. With a runway threshold height described as 'good' and a threshold speed of 61 kt, the Cessna C182's crew demonstrated an excellent understanding of the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics under these conditions.

At a mere 53 kt, the aircraft touched down remarkably smoothly, exhibiting an excellent touchdown rate of -59 fpm (feet per minute). This suggests that the aircraft had reached the optimal speed for landing, minimizing the impact on passengers and aircraft stability. Furthermore, the touchdown distance of 816 ft was well within a safe range, showcasing the crew's ability to control the aircraft's descent speed.

In terms of roll-out alignment, the aircraft executed a perfect alignment on the runway, staying true to its course as it slowed down after touchdown. This impressive show of flying prowess, coupled with its 45% usage of the available runway, indicates that the crew had complete confidence in their handling of the aircraft. The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,311 ft, while not the shorted possible distance, is still an acceptable and achievable landing distance.

Considering these key parameters, it can be concluded that the landing of the Cessna C182 at Y04 Sugar Loaf Resort Airport was an exemplary demonstration of skilled and precise aviation techniques. Despite the warm local weather, where the temperature was at 70 °F, the aircraft managed to touch down smoothly with a good touchdown speed and excellent touchdown rate, making it a safe and stable landing experience for all on board.
