The flight in question was conducted with a GA-8 Airvan Commuter, registration N13AV, from Jakolof Bay Airport. The aircraft departed from runway 30 with a takeoff distance of 179 meters, accounting for 59% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was a relatively moderate 47 knots.
The local weather at the time of departure and landing was characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. Wind conditions were quite calm, with gusts of only 2 knots, blowing from a direction of 270 degrees. As a result, there were minimal crosswind or headwind effects, with the aircraft only encountering a slight tailwind of 1 knot on landing.
During the approach, the aircraft followed a standard left-hand pattern, entering the pattern from runway 30. The time taken to complete the entry and initial crosswind leg was a mere 68 and 30 seconds, respectively. The downwind leg also progressed quickly, covered in 41 seconds.
As the aircraft continued towards the end of the downwind leg, it began its final approach to runway 12, heading northwest at an altitude of 88 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles distance from the runway. Despite the aircraft experiencing a tailwind of 1 knot during the approach, it landed successfully on the runway.
The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 60 knots and a touchdown distance of 48 meters. While the touchdown speed was good, the touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute (fpm) could be considered fair. The aircraft also touched down at a slight misalignment of 5.9 meters from the runway centerline, although the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good.
Throughout the flight, the aircraft used a total distance of 1 nautical mile, took approximately 3 minutes to complete, and consumed 2 kilogrammes of fuel. Overall, the flight appeared to be conducted safely and efficiently, with the pilots handling the aircraft with great proficiency.

Flaps Position 1 at 21:19:17 |
The GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft, registered as N13AV, successfully landed at Jakolof Bay Airport after a 94.3% efficient flight. The aircraft was approaching the runway 12 from a northwest direction, heading 140.0 degrees, at an altitude of 88 feet above ground level.
Upon completion of the final approach, the aircraft landed safely on the 304-meter-long runway 12 at Jakolof Bay Airport. Notably, the threshold height was good, and the speed upon touching down was slightly lower than the target speed at 62 knots. The pilot maintained a good touchdown distance of 48 meters and an appropriate speed of 60 knots.
However, there were two areas for improvement during this landing. Firstly, the runway touchdown position was slightly off-centre by 5.9 meters from the centreline. This implies that the pilot might have deviated from the intended touchdown point, possibly due to crosswind or misjudging the runway alignment. Secondly, the touchdown rate was a bit less than ideal, measured at -289 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light crosswind of 2 knots and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. These conditions would have likely contributed to the relatively smooth landing. Notably, the pilot maintained excellent runway rollout alignment, ensuring a stable and safe transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was considered safe, but there were areas for improvement for future flights.
