The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 191.0° at 1 nautical mile and 364 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision as it descended onto runway 20, which has a length of 5,502 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 70 knots. Despite this minor deviation, the aircraft still managed to achieve a good touchdown distance of 1,137 feet. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -71 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and quickly, with minimal impact on the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, showing that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and trajectory.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 56°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions would have presented a manageable challenge for the pilot, and the successful landing is a testament to their skill and experience. Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the entire process.
