Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing from a parking position, the aircraft began its taxiing sequence, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes before reaching the runway. Following a standard takeoff procedure, the aircraft lifted off and initiated its enroute climb, commencing 1 mile west of Parksville, British Columbia, Canada. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from an initial altitude of 1,128 feet above sea level to 2,665 feet above sea level, a vertical increase of 1,537 feet, achieved in just 1 minute while covering a distance of approximately 2 nautical miles.

Upon reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute level cruise, commencing 1 mile south-east of Parksville. This phase of the flight lasted for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude while covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent towards Nanaimo Airport, with the final approach initiated from 1 nautical mile out. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 2 knots, with a perfect touchdown rate of 0 feet per minute, and landed before the threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 355 degrees.

The aircraft completed the flight, covering a total distance of 26 nautical miles in 15 minutes, with a fuel consumption of -1 kilogram. The negative fuel consumption figure suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slight fuel gain during the flight, possibly due to the consumption of fuel during the taxiing sequence being offset by the aircraft's systems. The flight was executed under ideal weather conditions, with no wind affecting the aircraft's performance.
