Landing on runway 09 at KCVX Charlevoix Municipal Airport in the PA28 Arrow III

Landing Score 99.73 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at KCVX Charlevoix Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 84.0° at 1 nm and 486 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 09.

The runway length at KCVX Charlevoix Municipal Airport is 4,523 ft, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to touch down safely. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 78 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or pilot input.

The touchdown distance of 660 ft was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold. However, the touchdown speed of 70 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -226 fpm was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively well.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a wind speed of 6 kt at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.

The total landing distance of 1,541 ft was 34% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
