Departure
Arrival
The flight began with an enroute climb from the Nanaimo Harbour Water Aerodrome in British Columbia, Canada. The aircraft, a Kodiak 100, took off from a point 1 mile northeast of the aerodrome and climbed from an initial altitude of 1,034 feet above sea level to 758 feet above sea level, an increase of 276 feet in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the Nanaimo Harbour Water Aerodrome for landing, it began its final approach from 1 nautical mile away at an altitude of 723 feet above ground level. The descent was smooth, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude until it reached the ground.
Upon approaching touchdown, the aircraft descended from 45 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level in just 10 seconds. However, the touchdown speed of 74 knots was considered fast, and the touchdown rate of -247 feet per minute was only fair. Furthermore, the touchdown point was excessively long, with the aircraft using more than 75% of the available runway.
Following touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, covering a distance of 96 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 4 nautical miles and used 11 kilograms of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 11 degrees. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind was 10 knots.

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at Nanaimo Harbour Water Aerodrome, but with some notable issues. The pilot achieved a final approach from 1 nautical mile away at an altitude of 723 feet above ground level (agl), which is a standard distance for a water aerodrome landing. However, the touchdown speed of 74 knots was slightly higher than ideal, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully control the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's rate of descent was -247 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered fair. However, the touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to fully utilize the available runway length, potentially due to the aircraft's high touchdown speed or the pilot's inability to control the aircraft's rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 11°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 10 knots. These conditions would not have significantly impacted the landing, but the pilot's inability to control the aircraft's touchdown speed and rollout suggests that they may have been struggling to compensate for the wind.
The landing rollout itself was relatively short, with the aircraft coming to a stop at an altitude of 0 feet above sea level (asl) after traveling a distance of 96 meters. However, the fact that the aircraft used more than 75% of the available runway suggests that the pilot may have been unable to fully control the aircraft's rollout, potentially due to the high touchdown speed or the aircraft's weight and balance.
Overall, while the pilot successfully landed the aircraft, there are several areas for improvement, including controlling the touchdown speed and rollout, and utilizing the available runway length more effectively.
Warning: Landed with a 10 kt tailwind
