Maintain the centreline

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.

Flight narrative

The flight was conducted in a Pilatus PC-6 aircraft, departing from runway 11 at Cibao International Airport. The takeoff distance was 194 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 58 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 102 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 7 knots and no crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,528 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 2,277 feet, an increase of 749 feet in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile east of Licey al Medio. The descent from 2,280 feet to 1,053 feet, a decrease of 1,226 feet in 3 minutes, covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 11 at Cibao International Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 107.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 480 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 11, which had a length of 2,606 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 70 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 411 meters, and the touchdown speed was 52 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was good at -194 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 100 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 5 knots and no crosswind.

The total landing distance was 917 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 21 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport in the Pilatus PC-6
Landing Score 86.74 %
Landing Summary

The Pilatus PC-6 aircraft successfully landed at MDST Cibao International Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.7%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 107.0° at 1 nautical mile and 480 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 70 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a safe margin of speed during the approach, which is essential for a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown distance of 411 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was good, suggesting that the pilot managed to slow down the aircraft effectively.

However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centreline, which could have been caused by the same factors.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots at 100°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward, but the pilot still needs to exercise caution and control to ensure a safe and precise touchdown.

Overall, the Pilatus PC-6 aircraft demonstrated good performance and control during the landing, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and precision. With some adjustments to the pilot's technique and attention to detail, the aircraft can achieve even better scores in the future.
