The flight in question was conducted in a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The enroute climb began over Edinburgh Airport, located in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. From an initial altitude of 129 feet above sea level, the aircraft successfully climbed to 1,038 feet above sea level, an increase of 909 feet, within a short period of 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started over Ratho Station in the City of Edinburgh, Scotland. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 58.0 degrees and at an altitude of 162 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 06 was executed smoothly, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 69 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 351 meters, and the touchdown speed was good at 45 knots. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the perfect touchdown rate of -10 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 232 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a slight tailwind of 3 knots was present. The total landing distance was 758 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft even after touchdown.
In conclusion, the flight was a success, with the aircraft performing well throughout the climb, cruise, and landing phases. The pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control, resulting in a smooth and safe landing.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at Edinburgh Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 58.0° at an altitude of 162 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 20°C, with a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 232°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 0 knots, but a slight tailwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained excellent control of the aircraft, ensuring a smooth and stable descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 45 knots, which is well within the recommended threshold speed of 69 knots. The touchdown distance of 351 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -10 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure a safe and controlled touchdown. The total landing distance of 758 meters, which is 36% of the runway length, was also satisfactory.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. This is an important aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft remains aligned with the runway centerline and does not veer off course. Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the entire process.
