The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,019 ft asl to 4,152 ft asl in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 8 minutes and covered 17 nm as the aircraft flew overhead Mangere.

The enroute descent started 8 miles east of Red Hill, where the aircraft began its descent from 3,892 ft asl to 2,969 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. This was followed by another level cruise, which started 9 miles north of Mercer1 PDZ Airport and lasted for 23 minutes, covering 49 nm.

The final descent began 3 miles south west of Matakana Island Airport, where the aircraft descended from 2,555 ft asl to 1,579 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm.

Landing on runway 07 at NZTG Tauranga Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 88.74 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at Tauranga Airport (NZTG) with a score of 88.7%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 97.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,559 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 1,823 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 86 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 479 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 38°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline. These deviations were relatively minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within acceptable limits. The minor deviations from the centerline were likely due to the challenging wind conditions and the pilot's efforts to maintain control of the aircraft.
