Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Landing Summary

The PA34T Seneca V aircraft successfully landed at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 45.0° at 1 nautical mile and 489 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 05R, which has a length of 7,500 feet.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 85 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 1,070 feet was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 76 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -9 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach and landing technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 39°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 49°. There was no crosswind, which made the landing even more manageable.

The total landing distance of 3,934 feet was 52% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
