Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Calgary / Springbank Airport (CYBW) took approximately 6 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, AA-5B (N28672), then began its departure roll on runway 35, utilizing 1,617 feet, or 32% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 68 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft climbed away from CYBW, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from 4,510 feet above sea level to 5,966 feet above sea level, a gain of 1,456 feet over a distance of 8 nautical miles in 3 minutes. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering an additional 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase commenced 3 miles southeast of Calgary International Airport (CYYC), during which the aircraft descended from 6,505 feet above sea level to 3,430 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,074 feet over a distance of 8 nautical miles in 4 minutes.

The final approach to runway 36 at Chestermere (Kirkby Field) Airport (CFX8) was conducted from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 355.0° at an altitude of 92 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway length of 2,079 feet, with the threshold speed slightly below the target at 62 knots. The touchdown distance was 626 feet, and the touchdown speed was 52 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard at -524 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 49 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,666 feet, or 80% of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 54 feet from the centerline.

Landing Score 82.33 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, AA-5B (N28672), successfully executed a final approach to runway 36 at CFX8 Chestermere (Kirkby Field) Airport from the south, aligning with the runway heading of 355.0° at 0 nm and 92 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, registering at 62 kt.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 626 ft, with a speed of 52 kt. Although the touchdown rate was somewhat aggressive at -524 fpm, it was still within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 49 ft from the centreline, which would require attention during the post-flight review. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively stable approach environment.

The total landing distance of 1,666 ft was within 80% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 54 ft from the centreline, highlighting the need for further improvement in the pilot's ability to maintain centreline alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 82.3%, reflecting a good but not exceptional execution of the landing.
