A Grumman Goose aircraft departed from a location near Consolacion in the Central Visayas region of the Philippines, initiating its enroute climb 2 miles southeast of the departure point. The climb phase began at an altitude of 60 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 58 feet above sea level over a distance of 2 nautical miles in 1 minute, representing a modest ascent of 2 feet. This initial climb phase set the stage for the remainder of the flight.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it entered the descent phase, reducing its altitude from 55 feet above ground level to zero feet above ground level in a mere 1 second, resulting in a significant decrease of 55 feet. However, the touchdown was marred by excessive speed, with the aircraft touching down at 132 knots, significantly above the recommended threshold. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was extremely heavy, with a rate of descent of -1,690 feet per minute, and the touchdown point was excessively long, utilizing more than 75% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 239 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The Grumman Goose completed its short flight, covering a total distance of 3 nautical miles in 2 minutes, and consumed 8 pounds of fuel in the process. The flight's performance highlighted areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate, which will be crucial in refining the aircraft's handling and safety characteristics.

The approach to Consolacion (Central Visayas, Philippines) was initiated from a height of 55 feet above ground level (agl), with a descent rate of 55 feet in one second. This aggressive descent resulted in a touchdown 2 miles south east of the intended point, indicating a deviation from the planned approach path. The approach quality was compromised due to the excessive rate of descent, which may have been influenced by the prevailing wind conditions.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 132 knots was significantly higher than the recommended threshold speed, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -1,690 feet per minute (fpm). This excessive deceleration may have caused the aircraft to bounce or skid upon contact with the runway, leading to a touchdown point that was excessively long, utilizing more than 75% of the available runway. The centreline alignment was not maintained, as the touchdown occurred 2 miles south east of the intended point.
The rollout phase was likely affected by the aircraft's excessive speed and heavy touchdown rate, which may have resulted in a longer than necessary stopping distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79 °F and wind at 4 knots from 239 °, contributed to the challenging approach. The crosswind component of 3 knots and the tailwind component of 1 knot may have further complicated the pilot's task, ultimately resulting in a score of 45.2%.
