The flight began with the aircraft, a PA34T Seneca V, taxiing from its parking spot to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport. This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to depart from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 1,115 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 78 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, both of which were 1 knot. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern, which involved a turn from the runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. This maneuver took less than 1 nautical mile to complete and was accomplished in 18 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its left-hand pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport. The distance covered during this phase was also less than 1 nautical mile and took 18 seconds to complete. The pattern then progressed to a downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself took 77 seconds to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 211.0° and an altitude of 129 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed smoothly, with a threshold speed of 91 knots and a touchdown speed of 71 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,449 feet, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -113 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 251°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, both of which were 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,554 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6 pounds of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with good weather conditions and a well-controlled descent.

Landing Score 99.07 %

Landing Summary

The PA34T Seneca V aircraft successfully landed at KSFZ North Central State Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north east, heading 211.0° at an altitude of 129 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This precise approach allowed the aircraft to maintain a smooth and controlled descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed admirably, with a threshold speed of 91 knots, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,449 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 71 knots was equally impressive, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing.

The touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and avoided any sudden or jarring movements. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and consistent course during the final approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 251°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the landing, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 2,554 feet was 51% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's movement during the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and it demonstrates the capabilities of the PA34T Seneca V aircraft.
