The flight was conducted in a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Mackinac Island Airport (KMCD) took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll began on runway 26, and the takeoff distance was 1,306 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 84 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from KMCD, the enroute climb began, and the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 987 feet above sea level to 870 feet above sea level, an increase of 117 feet, over a distance of 3 nautical miles in 2 minutes.
The final approach to runway 25 at Mackinac County Airport (83D) was conducted from the east, with a heading of 249.0 degrees at an altitude of 245 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,754 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 81 knots.
The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 891 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 71 knots. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -89 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions during landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 279 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots.
The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 5 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at 83D Mackinac Co, achieving a score of 99.9%. The aircraft's final approach to runway 25 was executed from the east, with a heading of 249.0° at 1 nautical mile and 245 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach demonstrates the pilot's skill and control over the aircraft.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 891 feet, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 71 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -89 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to the centerline of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 279°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown. The slight deviation in touchdown speed was the only area for improvement, but it did not significantly impact the overall quality of the landing.
