Arrival
The flight in question was conducted using a DHC-2 Beaver aircraft. The enroute climb phase began approximately one mile west of the Princess Juliana International Airport in Saint Martin, and it involved a gradual ascent from an initial altitude of 1,200 feet above sea level to the same altitude, resulting in a net increase of zero feet in just two minutes. This climb covered a distance of less than one nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered the enroute level cruise phase, which also started one mile west of the airport. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 12 minutes, covering a distance of two nautical miles. This phase was characterized by a stable and efficient flight.
As the aircraft approached the Princess Juliana International Airport for landing, it began its descent from an altitude of 42 feet above ground level to the ground. This descent was completed in just eight seconds, resulting in a decrease of 42 feet in altitude. The touchdown speed was recorded at 65 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute was deemed fair. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 256 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, which covered a distance of 60 meters at an altitude of 0 feet above sea level. The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 60 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.
The flight was notable for its efficiency, with the aircraft covering a total distance of two nautical miles in 12 minutes while consuming zero kilograms of fuel. This suggests that the flight was conducted under optimal conditions, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, altitude, and fuel efficiency.
