The PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed at KSDL Scottsdale Airport, achieving a score of 87.5%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 43.0° at 2 nautical miles and 558 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
One notable aspect of the landing was the threshold height, which was significantly above the target at 81 feet agl. However, this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the aircraft, as the threshold speed was good at 69 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,440 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 64 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -29 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and able to make a safe and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F. The total landing distance of 2,347 feet was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 7,112 feet. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the PA28 Archer II aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, achieving a high score of 87.5%. The aircraft's ability to maintain a stable and controlled descent, combined with its good touchdown speed and rate, made for a safe and successful landing.
