The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA28 Turbo Arrow IV, then departed from runway 29 at Crested Butte Airpark. The takeoff distance was 1,534 feet, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from 245 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Crested Butte, Colorado, and ascended from 9,893 feet above sea level to 13,215 feet, an increase of 3,322 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north of Crested Butte and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 5 miles southwest of Aspen, Colorado, and the aircraft descended from 12,643 feet to 7,955 feet, a decrease of 4,688 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The aircraft then initiated a climb phase overhead Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field), ascending from 7,942 feet to 8,257 feet, an increase of 316 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 15 at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) in the Piper PA28 Turbo Arrow IV

Landing Score 85.25 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA28 Turbo Arrow IV aircraft successfully landed at KASE Aspen-Pitkin County Airport (Sardy Field) with a score of 85.2%. The final approach to runway 15 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 159.0° at 2 nautical miles and 571 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 82 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 71 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -82 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, signifying a gentle and stable landing.

Despite the good touchdown speed and rate, there were some areas for improvement. The touchdown point was 970 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slightly longer than necessary landing roll. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline, which could be attributed to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 46°F and a wind speed of 20 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was 20 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they were still able to achieve a good landing.

The total landing distance of 3,333 feet was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 59 feet from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. However, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of alignment and touchdown point accuracy.
