The flight began with a departure roll from runway 02 at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, required a takeoff distance of 310 feet, which was 6% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 70 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it flew a distance of 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was more pronounced, requiring a distance of 1 nautical mile in 49 seconds to navigate. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 63.3 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 4 nautical miles long and took 175 seconds to complete.

The pilot then turned onto the base leg, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles at an angle of 39.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 91 seconds to complete. The final turn onto the final approach was short, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 02, flying at a heading of 14.0 degrees and an altitude of 668 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 53 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 869 feet, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The pilot had managed to maintain a smooth touchdown rate of -121 feet per minute. The local weather conditions remained the same throughout the flight, with a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 210 degrees.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 13 nautical miles, taking 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 5 pounds of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the flight.

Landing on runway 02 at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport in the PA28 Warrior II

Landing Score 99.94 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport, achieving a score of 99.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 14.0° at 2 nautical miles and 668 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to runway 02 was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 62 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good landing distance of 869 feet, which is well within the acceptable range for a runway of 5,502 feet in length. The touchdown speed of 53 knots was also within the target range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -121 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-managed and stable.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were well within the acceptable range for a safe landing, and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through these conditions was a key factor in the successful outcome of the landing.
