The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KCIC Chico Regional Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 147.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,089 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evidenced by the good threshold height and speed of 67 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed smoothly, with a speed of 54 knots and a descent rate of -135 feet per minute. This indicates a well-controlled and gentle touchdown, which is essential for a safe and successful landing. The touchdown point was 162 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 2 knots and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained excellent control of the aircraft, ensuring a smooth and stable rollout.
The total landing distance of 916 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to optimize its landing configuration to achieve a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency in the pilot, as well as a thorough understanding of the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics. The successful landing at KCIC Chico Regional Airport is a testament to the pilot's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and execute a precise and controlled approach.
