Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Flare 76.81The flare wandered off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 1.5° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 544 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.

Flight narrative

The North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 35 at 8U8 Townsend, accelerating through a takeoff distance of 597 m (49 % of the runway) and lifting off at 97 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 270° at 6 kt, presenting a 6 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.

The first en-route climb began overhead 8U8 Townsend, gaining 1,462 ft from 4,111 ft to 5,573 ft asl in 2 minutes while covering 8 nm.

A level cruise segment started 5 nm north of Ponderosa Pines, lasting 3 minutes and extending the flight 12 nm.

The aircraft then descended 6 nm southeast of Townsend, losing 515 ft from 5,573 ft to 5,058 ft asl in 2 minutes.

A second descent commenced 4 nm north of Manhattan, dropping 624 ft from 5,634 ft to 5,009 ft asl over 2 minutes and 6 nm.

Following that, a short cruise of 2 minutes covered 6 nm from a point 3 nm southeast of Manhattan.

The next climb started 3 nm southeast of Churchill, climbing 1,010 ft from 5,287 ft to 6,297 ft asl in 3 minutes while traversing 12 nm.

A cruise leg began 4 nm southwest of Gallatin Gateway, lasting 3 minutes and adding another 12 nm.

The aircraft then climbed 1,338 ft from 6,961 ft to 8,298 ft asl over 3 minutes, covering 12 nm, from a point 8 nm northeast of MT94 Ousel Falls Airport.

A subsequent cruise segment originated 6 nm northeast of 1MT0 Nine Quarter Circle Ranch Airport, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 6 nm.

Another climb followed 5 nm east of the same ranch airport, gaining 747 ft from 8,491 ft to 9,239 ft asl in 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.

A further cruise leg began 9 nm southeast of the ranch airport, lasting 3 minutes and adding 12 nm.

The aircraft then began a descent 4 nm north of KWYS Yellowstone Airport, losing 592 ft from 9,472 ft to 8,880 ft asl in 2 minutes over 6 nm.

A brief cruise of 2 minutes covered 5 nm from a point 2 nm west of West Yellowstone.

The final descent started 1 nm southeast of West Yellowstone, dropping 1,328 ft from 8,583 ft to 7,255 ft asl in 3 minutes while traveling 8 nm.

On final approach to runway 19 at KWYS Yellowstone Airport, the aircraft approached from the northeast on a heading of 206.0° at 2 nm and 590 ft agl.

Landing on runway 19 was achieved with a threshold speed of 88 kt; touchdown occurred 109 m beyond the touchdown zone at 80 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 326 fpm and very good runway alignment. Local weather reported 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 6 kt, giving a 5 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.

The total landing roll measured 700 m (27 % of the runway) and the aircraft exited the runway 13.0 m off the centreline.

The OV-10 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered 122 nm, lasted 35 minutes, and consumed 186 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft approached runway 19 at KWYS Yellowstone Airport from the north-east on a heading of 206.0° while 2 NM out and 590 ft AGL, with ambient temperature 15 °C, wind 6 kt from 270°, a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.

At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 88 kt. The aircraft crossed the touchdown zone 109 m beyond its start, touched down at 80 kt, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 326 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.

Touchdown occurred with the stated speed and rate, confirming the firm contact and the very good alignment noted at the moment of wheel-strike.

The total landing distance was 700 m, representing 27 % of the 2 558 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 m from the centreline.

To improve the already strong score of 90.4 %, focus on reducing the 13.0 m rollout deviation and aim to touch down closer to the intended touchdown zone to keep the landing point within the optimal range.
