Departure Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Pesim FPV Drone Racer taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the drone taking off after covering 41% of the runway, which was 2,042 feet. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.

As the drone climbed out of KSFZ, it encountered local weather conditions of 78°F temperature and a 1-knot wind at 139°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was zero. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport and took the drone from 940 feet above sea level to 8,196 feet, an increase of 7,257 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the drone entered a level cruise, which started 1 mile north of Coventry, Rhode Island. This phase of the flight lasted 74 minutes and covered a distance of 488 nautical miles. The drone then began its enroute descent 2 miles south of Cary, North Carolina, and descended from 8,159 feet to 871 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 05R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport took place from the southwest, with the drone heading at 42.0° at 1 nautical mile and 467 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with the drone touching down 230 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 63 knots, and the touchdown rate was -169 feet per minute, both of which were good.

The local weather conditions at KRDU were 79°F temperature and a 5-knot wind at 77°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 4,639 feet, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 513 nautical miles, took 92 minutes, and used 181 pounds of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 05R at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport in the Pesim FPV Drone Racer
Landing Score 96.28 %
Landing Summary

The Pesim FPV Drone Racer successfully completed a landing at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 42.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 467 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the drone to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway.

Upon landing, the drone touched down on runway 05R, which has a length of 7,500 feet. The threshold height was good, indicating that the drone was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 80 knots, which may have been due to the drone's descent rate or the wind conditions.

The touchdown point was 230 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 63 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which suggests that the drone was well-aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and winds of 5 knots at 77°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. However, the overall wind conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

The total landing distance was 4,639 feet, which is 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the drone was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent onto the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the drone was well-aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after landing.

Overall, the Pesim FPV Drone Racer demonstrated excellent landing skills and control, achieving a high score of 96.3% on this landing attempt.
