Landing on runway 14 at KFMH Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station in the PA34T SENECA V

Landing Score 97.4 %

Landing Summary

The PA34T Seneca V aircraft successfully landed at KFMH Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station, achieving a score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 127.0° at an altitude of 87 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was on a precise course for a smooth landing on runway 14, which has a length of 9,456 feet.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 98 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a more stable approach. The touchdown distance of 921 feet was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.

Despite the slightly high threshold speed, the touchdown speed of 85 knots was faster than the target speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. However, the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown.

The total landing distance of 2,231 feet was 24% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in conducting a safe and controlled landing.
