The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Kodiak 100, then departed from runway 36 at Malé International Airport (VRMM). The takeoff distance was 394 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 78 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. After departing from Malé International Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead Hulhumale in the Kaafu Atoll, Maldives. The climb took place from an altitude of 507 feet above sea level to 576 feet above sea level, an increase of 69 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The enroute level cruise started 1 mile west of Hulhumale and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18L at Male Seaplane Base (VRSB), approaching from the north at a heading of 185.0° and an altitude of 83 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing took place on runway 18L, which had a length of 1,495 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 65 knots. The touchdown distance was 34 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 35.0 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 612 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 34.3 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft took 5 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, taking 10 minutes, and the aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 18L at VRSB Male Seaplane Base in the Kodiak 100

Landing Score 78.29 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at VRSB Male Seaplane Base, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 185.0° at 1 nautical mile and 83 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range, at 62 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 34 meters. However, the touchdown rate was only fair, at -234 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly harder landing than desired. The threshold speed was good at 65 knots, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 7 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position. The aircraft landed 35.0 meters off-centerline, which is an excessive deviation from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 612 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned, by 34.3 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a loss of control during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a straighter course during the rollout phase. The pilot's performance was scored 78.3%, indicating a good but not exceptional landing.
