The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DHC-2 Beaver, then departed from runway 07 at Tauranga Airport (NZTG). The takeoff distance was 94 meters, which accounted for 5% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 65 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 35 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,015 feet above sea level to 2,216 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,201 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 2,470 feet above sea level to 3,123 feet above sea level, an increase of 653 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes and locations, including near Maketu and Matata, before beginning its descent phase. The descent from 2,513 feet above sea level to 1,617 feet above sea level, a decrease of 896 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase once again, lasting for 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 09 at Whakatane Airport (NZWK) was made from the west, heading 105.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,077 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 83 meters and a touchdown speed of 65 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -437 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 35 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 448 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centerline.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 37 nautical miles, taking 34 minutes, and the aircraft used 35 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 09 at NZWK Whakatane Airport in the DHC-2 Beaver

Landing Score 89.02 %

Landing Summary

The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at Whakatane Airport (NZWK) with a score of 89.0%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 105.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,077 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 1,276 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 68 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 83 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -437 feet per minute (fpm).

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a moderate wind of 9 knots at 35°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 448 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.0 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
