The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, required a takeoff distance of 162 meters, which was 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 72 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 336 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 36L, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 58 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 28 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which required a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 72.4 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 65 seconds.

The pilot then executed a base leg turn, which required a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle of 17.3 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 28 seconds. The final turn was completed in 14 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36L from the south, heading 353.0 degrees at an altitude of 604 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 36L was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also good at 67 knots. The touchdown distance was 314 meters, and the touchdown speed was 52 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -378 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 86.3 meters from the centerline. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 337 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.

The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport in the PA28 Warrior II

Landing Score 73.72 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at YLIL Lilydale Airport, achieving a score of 73.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 353.0° at 2 nautical miles and 604 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 36L, which has a length of 1,324 meters.

The pilot demonstrated good control during the approach, maintaining a suitable threshold height and speed. The threshold speed was recorded at 67 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 314 meters. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 52 knots was within the expected parameters.

However, there was a notable issue with the runway touchdown position, as it was excessively misaligned by 86.3 meters from the centerline. This may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a slight drift during the approach. Despite this, the touchdown rate was firm, measuring -378 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 337°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions were likely taken into account by the pilot during the approach and landing. Overall, the landing was successful, but the misaligned touchdown position may require further attention and improvement.
