Pattern Downwind — Average altitude 814 ft agl at 70 %, −0.60 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 70 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 41 kt, 29 kt before the 70 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 70 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink is arrested before the wheels meet the runway.

What happened: Touchdown g reached 0.7 g, and a firm arrival like this usually feeds through into a more pronounced g reading during rollout, which matched here at 0.4 g.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown

See Arrival TouchdownArrival Rollout

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cotswold Airport, the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche began its takeoff roll on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 56 kt in a distance of 242 m, which represented 15% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the entry maneuver in less than 1 nm in 42 seconds. Subsequent turns in the pattern were equally impressive, with the crosswind turn requiring a mere 25 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08, descending from a height of 97 ft agl at a heading of 77.0 °. The pilot maintained a steady approach speed, slightly above the target threshold speed of 72 kt, and touched down on the runway at a speed of 48 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 387 m. The touchdown rate was an excellent -75 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was further highlighted by a total landing distance of 556 m, which represented 34% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. The total flight distance was a relatively short 3 nm, taking approximately 4 minutes to complete, and the aircraft consumed a mere 1 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency throughout the flight, executing a series of precise and efficient maneuvers.
