This flight was conducted in a PA28 Warrior II aircraft, a single-engine plane commonly used for training and recreational flying. The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile (nm).
As the aircraft prepared for departure, it rolled down runway 20 at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport, a small airport located in Rock Hill, South Carolina. The takeoff distance was 1,074 feet, which is 20% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 71 knots (kn), indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.
During the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, flying overhead the airport and maintaining a steady altitude. This phase of the flight lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 56 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 kn from a direction of 200 degrees.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 20, it flew from the north, heading towards the airport at a bearing of 190.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 394 feet above ground level (agl) and was 1 nm away from the runway. The approach was conducted in a controlled manner, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 61 kn, which is within the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 1,218 feet, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -68 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a precise and controlled landing.

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 20 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 190.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 394 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was a moderate 56°F, and the wind was blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 213°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 67 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 1,218 feet was also well within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 61 knots was also satisfactory, and the aircraft's rate of descent was an impressive -68 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating excellent control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the maneuver.
