The flight began with the Honda HA420 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 08, with a takeoff distance of 686 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 119 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb began overhead the Toronto/City Centre Seaplane Base, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,303 feet above sea level to 4,919 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,616 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 1 mile north of Toronto, where the aircraft descended from 4,448 feet above sea level to 1,470 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,978 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began overhead York University Heights and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 33 at CYZD Downsview Airport was made from the south-east, heading 308.0° at an altitude of 564 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33, which had a length of 2,147 meters, was notable for the threshold height being excessively over target, and the threshold speed being well above target at 123 knots. The touchdown point was 312 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -326 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.5 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,076 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, taking approximately 10 minutes, and the aircraft used 64 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 33 at CYZD Downsview Airport in the Honda HA420

Landing Score 76.1 %

Landing Summary

The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at CYZD Downsview Airport, but the landing was not without some notable deviations from the ideal. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 308.0° at an altitude of 564 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 2,147 meters.

However, the threshold height at 150 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft descended more slowly than intended. This was also reflected in the threshold speed, which was well above the target speed of 123 knots. The touchdown point was 312 meters beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting that the aircraft landed slightly further down the runway than desired. The touchdown speed of 104 knots was also a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -326 feet per minute.

Despite these deviations, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which suggests that the wind had a minimal impact on the landing.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Honda HA420 aircraft demonstrated a good level of control and stability during the final approach and rollout phases. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of descending more slowly and landing at a more optimal speed.
