The flight began with the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Richmond Airport, YRMD. This process took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to depart from runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 174 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 66 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 24 knots from a direction of 309 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft through a left-hand pattern entry from runway 27, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 20 seconds.
The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 22 seconds, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, which involved a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 99.2 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 54 seconds.
Following the downwind leg, the pilot initiated a base leg turn, which involved a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 9.1 degrees. The final approach to runway 27 was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 284.0 degrees at an altitude of 457 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 27 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 142 meters. The touchdown speed was 45 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -230 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 309 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 15 knots.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and took approximately 9 minutes to complete, using 4 kilograms of fuel in the process.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at YRMD Richmond Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 284.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 457 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a good final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was a relatively high 39°C, and the wind was blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 309°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain a very good runway touchdown alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 59 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 142 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 45 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had successfully slowed down the aircraft before touchdown.
One area for improvement was the touchdown rate, which was fair at -230 feet per minute (fpm). A more ideal touchdown rate would be closer to zero, indicating a smoother and more controlled landing. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was impressive, considering the challenging weather conditions.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft through the final approach and touchdown phases.
