The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at KRDD Redding Municipal Airport. The Cessna 208B aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering 601 meters or 28% of the runway length, before lifting off into the air at a speed of 75 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 9 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 17 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KRDD Redding Municipal Airport. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 555 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 5,521 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,966 feet, in just 5 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
After reaching its maximum altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of Keswick, California. The descent from 5,545 feet above sea level to 1,163 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,382 feet, took just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to landing, which started 3 miles west of Mountain Gate, California. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,163 feet above sea level to 97 feet above ground level, a decrease of 1,066 feet, in just 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then continued its descent, reducing its altitude from 44 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level in just 36 seconds.
The aircraft touched down 3 miles west of Mountain Gate, California, at a speed of 89 knots, which was excessively fast. The touchdown rate was also very heavy, at -1,110 feet per minute. Furthermore, the touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway.
Following touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, which covered a distance of 262 meters. The aircraft's altitude during this phase was 1,066 feet above sea level. After completing the rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute.
The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used 37 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Lights at 20:33:24 |
The Cessna 208B aircraft experienced a challenging landing at a location 3 miles west of Mountain Gate in California, United States. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 1 nautical mile, with the aircraft at an altitude of 97 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully descended from 44 feet agl to 0 feet agl, a decrease of 44 feet in just 36 seconds, indicating a steep rate of descent.
However, the touchdown was not without issues. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 89 knots, which was excessively fast. This excessive speed resulted in a very heavy touchdown rate of -1,110 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a significant impact on the aircraft's landing gear. Furthermore, the touchdown point was excessively long, with the aircraft using more than 75% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have lost control of the aircraft's descent or failed to properly configure the aircraft for landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 12°C and wind speeds of 12 knots at 9°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions were not particularly challenging, and the pilot should have been able to manage the aircraft's descent and touchdown with ease.
The landing rollout was also notable, with the aircraft coming to a stop at an altitude of 1,066 feet above sea level (asl) and a distance of 262 meters. This suggests that the pilot may have struggled to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout, potentially due to the excessive speed at touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Cessna 208B aircraft at 3 miles west of Mountain Gate in California was marked by several issues, including an excessively fast touchdown speed, a heavy touchdown rate, and an excessively long touchdown point. These problems suggest that the pilot may have benefited from additional training or experience in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
