Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a small airport located in the Highland region of Scotland. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the runway and lifted off the ground at a speed of 59 kt. The takeoff distance was a relatively short 93 m, which accounted for only 5% of the runway's total length.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from the west (270°). The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the tailwind component was 2 kt. The pilot navigated the aircraft to the north east, heading towards the final approach to runway 23.

The enroute climb began overhead EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft was initially at an altitude of 330 ft above sea level. Over the course of 1 minute, the aircraft climbed to an altitude of 344 ft, an increase of 14 ft. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of less than 1 nm.

As the aircraft approached the final approach to runway 23, it was at an altitude of 313 ft above ground level and a distance of 1 nm from the runway. The pilot aligned the aircraft with the runway and began the descent, heading towards a touchdown on the runway.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 46 kt. The touchdown distance was a respectable 484 m, which accounted for only 27% of the runway's total length. The touchdown rate was also perfect at -33 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft aligning itself with the centerline of the runway.

Following the touchdown, the pilot executed a perfect runway rollout, aligning the aircraft with the centerline of the runway. The total landing distance was 697 m, which accounted for 38% of the runway's total length. The pilot's skill and control were evident throughout the flight, as the aircraft performed flawlessly in a variety of conditions.

In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a relatively small amount of fuel, just 1 kg. The total flight distance was a short 2 nm, which was completed in just 3 minutes. Overall, the flight was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, with a smooth and controlled takeoff, climb, and landing.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 243.0° at 1 nautical mile and 313 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evidenced by the good threshold height and perfect runway touchdown alignment.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was equally impressive. The threshold speed was well above the target at 80 knots, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The touchdown distance of 484 meters was also good, and the touchdown speed of 46 knots was within acceptable limits. Perhaps most notably, the touchdown rate was perfect at -33 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot. The total landing distance of 697 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.

The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design and capabilities.
