Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down a touch longer and let speed build to 75 kt before liftoff.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 57 kt, 18 kt below the 75 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 75 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

Departing from Herowena Airstrip (AYHX), the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 35. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 57 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 441 m, which represented 80% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt from a direction of 269 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

Following a successful takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand traffic pattern, navigating the circuit in a timely manner. The right-hand pattern entry from runway 35 was executed in less than 1 nm in 14 seconds, while the right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in under 1 nm in just 3 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it turned through an angle of 27.4 ° relative to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nm. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 250 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 172.0 °.

The landing on runway 17 was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 58 kt and a distance of 92 m, representing 58% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was a commendable -50 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.8 m. The total landing distance was 317 m, and the runway rollout alignment was excellent. The flight, which covered a total distance of 2 nm, utilized 6 kg of fuel and was completed in 3 minutes.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 17 at AYHX Herowena Airstrip from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 172.0° at 0 nm and 250 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 62 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 92 m, and the touchdown speed of 58 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -50 fpm was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a slight drift during the landing roll. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 2 kt at 269°, did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 317 m was 58% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 95.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
