The aircraft, a Piper PA28R with registration C-GQYI, successfully landed at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield, scoring 81.8% in the assessment. The final approach was made from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 144 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a good landing on runway 14, which has a length of 917 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 80 knots was maintained. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 132 meters. The touchdown speed of 76 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -383 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly hard landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach and landing technique. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C.
The total landing distance of 976 meters was 106% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had some room for improvement in terms of landing efficiency. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.5 meters, which may be a result of the initial touchdown position being off-centre. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of precision and efficiency.
