This flight began with the pilot taxiing their Van's RV-14 aircraft from the parking area to the runway, a journey that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

Once the plane reached runway 06 at KLKR Lancaster County-McWhirter Field, it took off with a departure roll distance of 600 feet, which accounted for just 10% of the runway. The liftoff speed was a respectable 69 knots. The local temperature was 78 degrees Fahrenheit during this time.

Following takeoff, the aircraft began enroute climb mode, which kicked in over KLKR Lancaster County-McWhirter Field. The engine climbed rapidly from an altitude of 1,538 feet above sea level to 4,215 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,677 feet in just 3 minutes while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

As the plane leveled off, enroute level cruise commenced 1 mile southeast of Catawba, lasting for a brief 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. However, this steady pace was short-lived as the pilot initiated an enroute descent, which started overhead Lesslie. This descent dropped the aircraft from an altitude of 4,181 feet above sea level to 846 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,335 feet in 6 minutes while covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

Upon reaching the Rock Hill - York County Airport, the pilot executed a final approach to runway 02 from the south, heading in a northeasterly direction at an altitude of 171 feet above ground level. The aircraft made a smooth landing on the runway, which had a length of 5,502 feet and a local temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The threshold speed, although slightly above the target speed, still presented a good threshold height, and the aircraft's touchdown speed of 56 knots was commendable.

The total landing distance for the Van's RV-14 was 2,339 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was impeccable, and the plane's rollout was perfectly aligned. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

After this successful flight, the total distance traveled was 19 nautical miles, while fuel consumption was a relatively modest 11 pounds. The overall performance demonstrated by the Van's RV-14 was noteworthy, and the pilot was able to complete the flight without any issues.

Landing on runway 02 at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport in the Van's RV-14

Landing Score 96.25 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Van's RV-14, has successfully landed at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport, achieving a score of 96.2% in the process. The pilot navigated the final approach to runway 02 from the south at a heading of 12.0°, having descended to 171 feet above ground level (agl) and positioned themselves 0 nm away from the runway.

Upon landing, the pilot demonstrated excellent control, with a touch down speed of 56 knots which was well within safe parameters. The threshold speed was noted to be significantly above the target, indicating a safe margin of error and a controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 1,306 feet was also deemed good, which reflects the pilot's precise execution of the landing.

The threshold height was reported to be good, indicating that the pilot had adequately managed the aircraft's descent, and ensured that it was at a suitable height prior to touching down on the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72 °F. These conditions further contributed to a smooth landing experience.

One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the pilot's ability to maintain perfect runway alignment throughout the entire process. This is reflected in both the touchdown distance and the runway rollout alignment, both of which were deemed perfect. The pilot's skills were put to the test in managing the aircraft's descent and speed, but they were ultimately able to ensure a safe and successful landing.
