The flight began with the Pesim FPV Drone Racer taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport. This process took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The drone then proceeded to depart from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 1,158 feet, which accounted for 23% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 78 knots.

As the drone entered the traffic pattern, it made a left-hand pattern entry from runway 23, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 37 seconds. The drone then made a left-hand pattern crosswind turn, completing the maneuver in a mere 13 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was notable, with a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 47.8 degrees.

The drone then began its final approach to runway 33, which was located to the southeast. The approach was made from an altitude of 212 feet above ground level (agl) and a heading of 319.0 degrees. The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 304 feet and a touchdown speed of 65 knots. The touchdown rate was also good, at -158 feet per minute (fpm).

The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 288 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.

After landing, the drone taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The drone used a total of 4 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 33 at KSFZ North Central State Airport in the Pesim FPV Drone Racer

Landing Score 97.81 %

Landing Summary

The Pesim FPV Drone Racer successfully completed a landing at KSFZ North Central State Airport, showcasing impressive piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 319.0° at an altitude of 212 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This precise approach allowed the drone to maintain a good threshold height, setting it up for a smooth touchdown.

Upon landing, the drone touched down at a speed of 65 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 72 knots. However, this was not a concern, as the touchdown speed was still within a safe range. The touchdown distance of 304 feet was also good, indicating that the drone had sufficient control and stability during the landing process.

The drone's descent rate was -158 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered good, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 94°F and winds of 14 knots at 288°, presented a moderate challenge, but the pilot successfully managed the crosswind and headwind components, which were 7 and 12 knots, respectively.

The total landing distance of 1,270 feet was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway's length of 3,212 feet. This indicates that the drone had a good amount of runway remaining for rollout, and the pilot was able to maintain perfect alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the drone demonstrating excellent piloting skills and control. The final score of 97.8% reflects the high level of proficiency displayed by the pilot during this landing.
