Arrival Final 2

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight departed from PAFA Fairbanks International Airport, where it initiated its departure roll on runway 02L. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 98 kt, achieving liftoff after a takeoff distance of 680 m, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 5 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt from 179°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.

As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead 2Z5 Chena River Seaplane Base Fairbanks, where it began its ascent from 1,427 ft asl to 24,008 ft asl. This climb phase covered a distance of 42 nm and took 14 minutes to complete, resulting in an altitude gain of 22,580 ft. The enroute level cruise phase followed, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 235 minutes, covering a distance of 1,104 nm. The descent phase commenced 26 miles west of PAAK Atka Airport Atka, where the aircraft descended from 23,565 ft asl to 1,480 ft asl, a decrease of 22,085 ft in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nm.

The final approach to runway 23 at PADK Adak Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 240.0° at 4 nm and 1,451 ft agl. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 88 kt, and the touchdown point was 226 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 79 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -118 fpm was smooth. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,169 m, accounting for 49% of the runway length. The flight concluded with a taxiing time of 2 minutes and a fuel consumption of 899 kg, covering a total distance of 1,224 nm in 277 minutes.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at PADK Adak Airport from the north east, heading 240.0° at 4 nm and 1,451 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach phase, with a smooth touchdown rate of -118 fpm. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the pilot managed to maintain a speed of 88 kt, which was slightly above the target threshold speed.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 79 kt, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 226 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the over-run. Despite this, the touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a smooth and controlled touchdown rate.

The rollout phase was executed with a total landing distance of 1,169 m, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the centreline. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.0%. The good approach quality, smooth touchdown rate, and controlled rollout phase were notable aspects of the landing, despite some minor deviations from the centreline.

Flare

The flare tracked the target profile closely. The aircraft floated down the runway before touching. Touchdown was 660 m past the threshold. Threshold speed was not the cause here - hold the aim point on the approach and let the aircraft settle rather than holding it off, and the touchdown comes back to the numbers.
