Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at L88 New Cuyama, a small airport in California, United States. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, took off with a takeoff distance of 240 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 61 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at 329 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from New Cuyama, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 2,677 feet above sea level to 6,323 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,646 feet in just 5 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles.

The flight continued with a series of enroute descents and level cruises, with the aircraft descending from various altitudes to lower levels. For example, it descended from 6,282 feet above sea level to 5,712 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft also leveled off and cruised at various altitudes, including a 3-minute cruise at 5,431 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, KBFL Meadows Field in Bakersfield, California, it began its final approach to runway 30R from the south east.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KBFL Meadows Field, achieving a score of 90.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 329.0° at 1 nautical mile and 318 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 30R, which has a length of 2,256 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 63 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 187 meters. The touchdown speed of 53 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -115 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 329°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth touchdown and rollout.

Despite the good landing performance, the pilot struggled with runway alignment during the rollout, with the aircraft deviating by 17.8 meters from the centerline. This misalignment may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in correcting for the initial touchdown position or the aircraft's response to the wind conditions.

Overall, the landing was successful, but the pilot could benefit from further training or practice to improve their alignment and control during the rollout phase.
