Departure
Arrival
A Grumman Goose aircraft took off from Canapitsit Airport Gosnold in Massachusetts, United States. The enroute climb began immediately after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 387 feet above sea level to 844 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 457 feet was achieved in just one minute, covering a distance of one nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately one mile south of the Cuttyhunk Harbor Seaplane Base on Cuttyhunk Island in Massachusetts. This cruise phase lasted for 182 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 32 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Block Island State Airport, it began its final approach to runway 28 from the east. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 39 feet above ground level and had traveled zero nautical miles. The heading was 268.0 degrees, and the aircraft was aligned with the runway.
However, the landing was not entirely smooth. The threshold speed was too high at 81 knots, and the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was also a little fast. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 37 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from 132 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 2,019 feet, which accounted for 83% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking just one minute to cover a distance of less than one nautical mile. The total flight distance was 34 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used 93 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The Grumman Goose aircraft successfully landed at KBID Block Island State Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot's final approach to runway 28 from the east, heading 268.0°, was at 0 nm and 39 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,444 ft.
However, the pilot encountered some issues during the landing. The threshold speed was too high at 81 kt, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. As a result, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 74 kt was also a little fast, which could have increased the risk of a bounced landing or other issues.
Despite these challenges, the pilot managed to achieve a smooth touchdown rate of -125 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 37 ft from the centreline, which could have made the landing more difficult. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 72°F and winds of 7 kt at 132°.
The crosswind was 5 kt, and the tailwind was 4 kt, which could have contributed to the misaligned touchdown. The total landing distance was 2,019 ft, which is 83% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 55 ft from the centreline, which could have made it more difficult for the pilot to control the aircraft during the rollout.
Overall, while the pilot successfully landed the Grumman Goose, there were several areas for improvement. The pilot should focus on reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed to ensure a safer and more controlled landing. Additionally, the pilot should work on improving the alignment of the touchdown and rollout to reduce the risk of accidents.
Warning: Landed with a 4 kt tailwind
