The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 492 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Sundre Airport, CFN7, commenced with a smooth rollout on runway 33. The Mini-Max 1500R Sport trainer accelerated rapidly, reaching liftoff speed of 40 kt within a short distance of 617 ft, which represented 15% of the available runway. Local conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59 °F and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft cleared the airport, it initiated a climb, ascending from 4,119 ft above sea level to 4,077 ft, a gain of 41 ft in less than 1 minute while covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The enroute climb phase was brief, and the aircraft soon transitioned to a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 4,077 ft for 2 minutes while covering 1 nm. Following a brief descent from 4,482 ft to 3,924 ft, a decrease of 558 ft in 2 minutes, the aircraft leveled off at 3,924 ft for another 2-minute cruise phase, covering 2 nm. The descent from 38 ft above ground level to 0 ft agl was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 38 kt and a touchdown rate of -290 fpm, indicating a fair touchdown. The touchdown distance of 400 ft was satisfactory.
The landing rollout was uneventful, with the aircraft coming to a stop at an altitude of 3,700 ft above sea level after a distance of 144 ft. The total flight distance of 5 nm was completed in 6 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1 lb. The favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, contributed to a smooth and efficient flight.
The approach to Sundre / Goodwins Farm Airport was characterized by a stable descent from 38 feet above ground level to a smooth touchdown. The aircraft maintained a consistent rate of descent, decreasing altitude by 38 feet in 5 seconds, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown speed of 38 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a slight loss of control during the final stages of the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good touchdown distance, coming to rest 400 feet down the runway. The centreline alignment was satisfactory, with the aircraft remaining on course throughout the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a light headwind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The absence of crosswind made the landing even more manageable.
The landing rollout was completed in a distance of 144 feet, with the aircraft maintaining a stable altitude of 3,700 feet above sea level. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 86.2%. While there was some loss of control during the final stages of the approach, the pilot's ability to recover and maintain a stable touchdown was evident.
