Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile from the parking area to the runway. The aircraft then departed from runway 06 at YPBO Paraburdoo Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,269 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 52 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 51 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 2 knots was present. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing the airport, with the initial altitude of 1,885 feet above sea level increasing to 1,471 feet above sea level over a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 1 minute.

Upon reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft continued on its journey, eventually returning to YPBO Paraburdoo Airport for landing. The landing was conducted on runway 24, which had a length of 2,131 meters. The threshold height at 76 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 72 knots. The touchdown point was 93 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 57 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were identical to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 51 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 2 knots was present. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 2 minutes. The aircraft used approximately 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 24 at YPBO Paraburdoo Airport in the Piper PA-24 Comanche
Landing Score 71 %
Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed on runway 24 at YPBO Paraburdoo Airport, achieving a score of 71.0%. The aircraft demonstrated a good understanding of the landing conditions, despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.

The threshold height at 76 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the pilot had sufficient altitude to safely approach the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 72 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach. Nevertheless, this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.

The touchdown point was 93 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. This suggests that the pilot may have been slightly overconfident in their ability to control the aircraft's descent, or may have been attempting to touch down as close to the centerline as possible. However, the touchdown speed of 57 kt was good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft's speed during the landing.

The touchdown rate of -58 fpm was excellent, indicating that the pilot was able to smoothly and gradually bring the aircraft to a stop. This is a critical aspect of safe landing, as a high touchdown rate can increase the risk of damage to the aircraft and potentially lead to loss of control.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft's direction during the landing. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as their ability to read the wind and other environmental conditions.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively benign, with a temperature of 29 °C and a wind of 2 kt at 51 °. The crosswind was negligible, and the tailwind was minimal, which made the landing conditions relatively straightforward. Overall, the pilot demonstrated a good understanding of the landing conditions and was able to execute a safe and controlled landing.
