Top opportunity

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 began with a departure roll from runway 11 at Cibao International Airport. The Pilatus PC-6 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 70 knots. The takeoff distance was 272 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius.

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 1,462 feet above sea level to 1,300 feet above sea level, an increase of 163 feet, in less than one minute and covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. This rapid climb demonstrated the aircraft's ability to quickly gain altitude.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for two minutes and covered a distance of one nautical mile. This phase allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and speed, conserving fuel and minimizing the risk of fatigue.

As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 11 at Cibao International Airport. The approach was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 103.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 255 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady heading and altitude, preparing for landing.

The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 50 knots. The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.

The flight was completed in a total distance of four nautical miles, taking approximately three minutes to complete. The aircraft used 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which is a relatively small amount considering the short distance traveled. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were again characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius.

Landing report
Landing on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport in the Pilatus PC-6
Landing Score 93.17 %
Landing Summary

The Pilatus PC-6 aircraft successfully landed at MDST Cibao International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 103.0° at an altitude of 255 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude above the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 75 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the approach speed to achieve a more optimal touchdown.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 69 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was considered good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown speed effectively. The touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of reducing the threshold speed to achieve a more optimal touchdown.
