Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 26 at Exeter International Airport (EGTE). The takeoff distance was 411 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 77 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 26, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 11 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 5 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile and involved a turn of 45 degrees at an angle of 39.3 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 56 seconds to complete. The base leg turn, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, involved a turn of 45 degrees at an angle of 48.1 degrees to the runway. The base leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 8 seconds.

The final turn, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, took 201 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26 from the east, heading 264.0 degrees at an altitude of 463 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 26 was characterized by a threshold height that was considered good, but the threshold speed was too high at 86 knots. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 82 knots, which was also considered too fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -432 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. The total landing distance was 738 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight took 12 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 26 at EGTE Exeter International Airport in the PA28 Arrow III
Landing Score 91.2 %
Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Exeter International Airport (EGTE) on runway 26. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 463 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was too high at 86 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly challenging landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 55 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 82 knots was also too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent. The resulting touchdown rate was hard, at -432 feet per minute (fpm), which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.

In terms of runway alignment, the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the pilot's attempt to compensate for the high threshold speed. Fortunately, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The total landing distance of 738 meters was 36% of the available runway length, which is a relatively acceptable distance considering the aircraft's performance.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft, particularly during the rollout phase. With some adjustments to the approach speed and alignment, the pilot may be able to achieve a more precise and controlled landing in the future.
