Landing on runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 94.26 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KSFZ North Central State Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 212.0° at 1 nm and 238 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 5,004 ft. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 69 kt, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively. However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available length. This may indicate that the pilot could have benefited from a slightly earlier touchdown or a more aggressive descent to utilize more of the runway.

Despite the long touchdown point, the touchdown speed of 47 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -53 fpm was excellent. This suggests that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively, resulting in a smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 83°F and a wind speed of 5 kt at 109°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 kt, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 kt. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.

The total landing distance of 3,065 ft was 61% of the available runway length, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
