The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport. The Beechcraft Duke aircraft required a takeoff distance of 328 meters, which was 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 102 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 22L. The distance covered during this maneuver was less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 11 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 89.5°.

The landing was executed on runway 22R, which had a length of 3,050 meters. The threshold height at 69 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was good at 98 knots. The touchdown point was 440 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 70 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -149 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 64.7 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,064 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 75.6 meters from the centerline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 362 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 22R at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport in the Beechcraft Duke

Landing Score 58.98 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed on runway 22R at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, achieving a score of 59.0%. The landing was evaluated based on several key parameters, including threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown point, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate.

The threshold height at 69 ft agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than desired. However, the threshold speed of 98 kt was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was 440 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing spot. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 70 kt was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively.

The touchdown rate of -149 fpm was smooth, suggesting that the pilot executed a gentle and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 64.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -1 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt at 320 °, were relatively calm, with a minimal crosswind of 3 kt and a slight tailwind of 1 kt.

The total landing distance of 1,064 m was 35% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 75.6 m from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control and alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft's descent and touchdown, but could improve on alignment and rollout.
