Landing on runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport in the Piper PA-28 Archer

Landing Score 87.15 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-28 Archer on a final approach to runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport maintained a heading of 226.0° from the north-east, descending to 453 ft AGL at the runway threshold. The aircraft was scored 87.2 % for the overall landing. Ambient temperature was 102 °F with a wind from 159° at 15 kt, giving a 6 kt headwind and a 14 kt crosswind component.

At the threshold the aircraft was 83 ft AGL, which was significantly above the target height, and the threshold speed was 77 kt, slightly above the target. These figures describe the height and speed at which the flare began.

Touchdown occurred 1,537 ft down the runway at a speed of 61 kt, both rated as good. The vertical rate at touchdown was -215 fpm, rated fair, and the touchdown point was 16 ft off the centreline, a slight misalignment. Total landing distance was 2,181 ft, representing 43 % of the 5,121-ft runway.

Rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining well centred during the deceleration phase.

Reduce the flare height to meet the intended threshold altitude and refine the flare timing to achieve a more neutral vertical rate at touchdown. Align the touchdown point closer to the centreline to eliminate the 16-ft offset.
