The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The takeoff distance was 295 meters, which is 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 73 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 10, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 20 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 21 seconds, also with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 61.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself took 78 seconds to complete, also covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 34.9 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 2 nautical miles covered. The base leg itself was completed in 27 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn was made in 12 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 from the west, at a heading of 93.0 degrees and an altitude of 378 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good and a threshold speed of 67 knots. The touchdown distance was 287 meters, and the touchdown speed was 46 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was an excellent -69 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees.

The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency. The aircraft's approach to runway 10 from the west, heading 93.0°, was executed at a distance of 1 nm and at an altitude of 378 feet above ground level (agl). This demonstrates a well-considered approach strategy, taking into account the airport's layout and the aircraft's performance capabilities.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach and adequate control of the aircraft's descent. The threshold speed of 67 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance characteristics under these conditions.

The touchdown distance of 287 meters was also within the acceptable range, further demonstrating the pilot's control and ability to manage the aircraft's landing. The touchdown speed of 46 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft to a safe speed before touching down. The rate of descent at -69 feet per minute was excellent, showcasing the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 2 kt at 270°. This suggests that the pilot may have had some flexibility in terms of approach and landing strategy, but still managed to execute a safe and effective landing. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, which would have made the approach and landing even less challenging.

Overall, the landing of the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was a success, with good scores across a range of key performance metrics. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach, combined with good threshold height, touchdown speed and touchdown distance, all contributed to a safe and effective landing.
