Flight narrative

The OV-10 Bronco departed from Calgary/Springbank Airport (CYBW), taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 692 meters, accounting for 68% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 93 knots, with a local temperature of 16°C and a wind of 6 knots from 270°.

As the aircraft climbed to 4,946 feet above sea level, it began its enroute climb, increasing its altitude by 674 feet in less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 4,946 feet for 5 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. The climb and cruise phases were repeated several times, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 8,025 feet above sea level. The descent phase began 22 miles north of Elkford, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 1,233 feet in 3 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 17 at Sparwood/Elk Valley Airport (CYSW) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 191.0° at 4 nautical miles and 987 feet above ground level. The landing was completed with a touchdown distance of 86 meters, a touchdown speed of 72 knots, and a touchdown rate of -704 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.6 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 503 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 85 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 24 minutes and a fuel consumption of 139 kilograms.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 17 at CYSW Sparwood Elk Valley Airport from the north was initiated at 4 nm and 987 ft above ground level, heading 191.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 76 kt, indicating a possible slight delay in the flare.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 86 m and a touchdown speed of 72 kt, both of which were within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -704 fpm, which may have contributed to the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 20.0 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a 6 kt headwind, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

The total landing distance of 503 m was 42% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.6 m from the centreline, indicating a possible issue with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 83.2%, with room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and directional control during the rollout phase.
