The flight began with a departure roll from runway 19 at Oita Airport, RJFO, where the Beechcraft Duke took off with a takeoff distance of 409 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern from runway 19, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nautical mile in just 93 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was even more impressive, with the aircraft covering the distance in a mere 18 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 3 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 24.3 degrees.

The downwind leg of the pattern was the longest, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles in 167 seconds. The base leg turn, which involved a distance of 1 nautical mile, was characterized by an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 15.4 degrees. The final approach to runway 19 was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 182.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 68 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 19 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 460 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 98 knots was slightly higher than desired, and the threshold speed was also too high at 118 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -92 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

In conclusion, the flight was a testament to the Beechcraft Duke's agility and maneuverability, with the aircraft completing the traffic pattern and landing successfully despite challenging conditions. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight used 26 kilograms of fuel, taking a total of 7 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 19 at RJFO Oita Airport in the Beechcraft Duke

Landing Score 95.52 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at RJFO Oita Airport, achieving a high score of 95.5%. The final approach to runway 19 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 182.0° at an altitude of 68 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a distance of 460 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 98 knots was slightly faster than expected, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking or reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft more quickly. The touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and accurate course during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. There was no significant crosswind or headwind, which made the landing even more straightforward.

One area for improvement identified in the landing was the threshold speed, which was too high at 118 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have needed to adjust their approach speed or configuration to ensure a more optimal touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the Beechcraft Duke aircraft during the landing was impressive, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled manner in which the aircraft touched down on the runway.
