Departure Taxi

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Landing Score 100 %
Landing Summary

The Pesim FPV Drone Racer successfully completed a landing at KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 44.0° at an altitude of 147 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

As the drone began its final approach, it maintained a steady course, aligning itself perfectly with the runway. The threshold height was good, indicating that the drone was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 68 knots, which may have been due to the drone's descent rate or the wind conditions.

Despite the slightly low speed, the drone's touchdown distance was good, measuring 1,146 feet. This indicates that the drone maintained a stable and controlled descent, allowing it to touch down safely on the runway. The touchdown speed of 59 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the drone's navigation system was accurate and that the pilot had a clear understanding of the runway's layout. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly low threshold speed.

Overall, the Pesim FPV Drone Racer's landing at KLWA South Haven Area Regional Airport was a success, with the drone demonstrating excellent control and navigation skills. The perfect score of 100.0% reflects the drone's ability to execute a safe and controlled landing in a variety of conditions.
