Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The Piper PA28-236 Dakota began its departure roll on runway 06 at the Kissimmee Gateway Airport. After a short takeoff distance of 222 meters, which accounts for 15% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off the ground with a liftoff speed of 60 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a low wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 292 degrees.

The crosswind was minimal, at 2 knots, and the tailwind was slightly stronger at 1 knot, resulting in a net headwind component. Upon clearing the airport, the enroute climb began, which took the aircraft up from an initial altitude of 506 feet above sea level to a higher altitude of 3,410 feet above sea level, a gain of 2,904 feet in just 2 minutes. This remarkable ascent covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

Subsequently, the enroute level cruise mode was established 1 mile west of Hunters Creek, where the aircraft remained stable for 2 minutes and covered an additional 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began overhead Williamsburg, bringing the aircraft down from 3,134 feet above sea level to 726 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,408 feet in a mere 3 minutes. This descent also spanned 3 nautical miles.

Later, an enroute level cruise mode was initiated again, this time overhead Oak Ridge, and remained for a longer period of 4 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft eventually made its way towards the Orlando International Airport, where it began its final approach to runway 36L from the south. With its heading at 359.0 degrees, the aircraft was at an altitude of 268 feet above ground level at that point.

The good threshold height allowed for a smooth landing on the 3,671-meter runway. Touching down at 458 meters, the aircraft landed with a speed of 74 knots, exhibiting an exemplary touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, which was the only minor deviation in its landing performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing showed a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 14 knots from a direction of 351 degrees. Despite the strong crosswind, the aircraft handled it well, with the runway rollout alignment being very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Upon completion of the flight, the total distance traveled was 18 nautical miles, which the aircraft accomplished in 14 minutes. Significantly, the Piper PA28-236 Dakota used no fuel during the entire flight.

Landing on runway 36L at KMCO Orlando International Airport in the Piper PA28-236 Dakota
Landing Score 97.29 %
Landing Summary

The Piper PA28-236 Dakota aircraft successfully landed on runway 36L at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 359.0° at an altitude of 268 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good touchdown distance of 458 meters, which is a significant achievement considering the runway length of 3,671 meters. The touchdown speed was 74 knots, which is within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -54 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a smooth and controlled descent, minimizing the impact on the aircraft and the runway.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.9 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind component, which was 2 knots, and the headwind of 14 knots. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 351°. The wind direction and speed were taken into account by the pilot, who successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a stop within 27% of the runway length, with a total landing distance of 987 meters.
