Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 14 at YBCG Gold Coast Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 131 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 121 kt, which was within the acceptable range.

The touchdown point was located 386 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -213 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a consistent heading and alignment with the runway during the approach.

Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out perfectly along the centreline, demonstrating excellent control and coordination. The total landing distance of 3,711 ft, which accounted for 55% of the runway length, was acceptable. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 70 °F and a headwind of 11 kt, also contributed to the successful outcome of the landing.
