This flight was conducted in a Cessna 208B aircraft, which took off from Bartram Farms Air Park in Elkton, Florida. The enroute climb began at an altitude of 10,184 feet above sea level (asl) and reached a maximum altitude of 5,969 ft asl, resulting in an increase of 4,216 feet in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
As the flight continued, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Bartram Farms Air Park. The descent from 5,662 ft asl to 389 ft asl was even more dramatic, with a decrease of 5,273 feet in just 3 minutes, covering the same 3 nautical miles as the climb. This steep descent was likely necessary to prepare for the final approach to runway 29.
The final approach to runway 29 was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 286.0° at an altitude of 300 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 341 meters, and the touchdown speed was also satisfactory at 45 knots.
The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -113 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 8.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 319°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 440 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 8.2 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was considered good overall. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at Bartram Farms Air Park, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 286.0° at 0 nm and 300 ft above ground level (agl) from a cruising altitude of FL46. The aircraft touched down on runway 29, which has a length of 748 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 341 meters, and the touchdown speed of 45 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 319°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. This misalignment was also observed during the runway rollout alignment, where the aircraft was 8.2 meters off-centerline. These minor deviations from the centerline may be due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but they did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within 440 meters of the runway threshold, which is 59% of the runway length. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
