The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at I54 Mad River Airpark, a small airfield in Ohio, United States. The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 67 knots. The takeoff distance was a relatively short 55 meters, accounting for only 7% of the runway's total length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions of 6 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 7 knots. The wind direction was from the northwest, with a crosswind component of just 1 knot. The pilot initiated the enroute climb 1 mile west of the airfield, at an altitude of 2,058 feet above sea level. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising to 2,769 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it leveled off and began a 10-minute cruise, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The cruise phase took place 1 mile north of Lawrenceville, Ohio, and was characterized by a steady and efficient flight path.
As the aircraft approached its destination, KDAY James M Cox Dayton International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 24L. The approach was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 196.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,630 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at this point were 7 degrees Celsius and a moderate headwind of 9 knots.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a respectable 63 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -53 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 4.7 meters.
The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient climb, cruise, and descent, with a good landing performance.

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at KDAY James M Cox Dayton International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal approach. The aircraft was approaching runway 24L from the north east, heading 196.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,630 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach score was 77.1%, indicating a good but not perfect landing.
One of the main issues with the approach was the excessive height at the threshold, which was 101 feet agl, significantly above the target height. This suggests that the pilot may have been too high on the approach, potentially due to a late start or an incorrect descent rate. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 88 knots, which may have been caused by the pilot's attempt to maintain a high speed to compensate for the excessive height.
Despite these issues, the touchdown point was only 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is relatively close. The touchdown speed of 63 knots was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The touchdown rate of -53 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, suggesting that the pilot was able to smoothly and safely bring the aircraft to the ground.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a crosswind effect. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and winds of 12 knots at 279°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was also 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
Overall, while the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza landed safely, there were some notable deviations from the ideal approach that the pilot should work on to improve their skills and accuracy.
