The flight began with a departure roll from runway 33 at KPGA Page Municipal Airport. The aircraft, a Spitfire Mk IX, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 2,342 feet, which was 39% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 112 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.

As the aircraft lifted off the ground, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of the airport. The Spitfire climbed from an initial altitude of 4,775 feet above sea level to 7,354 feet, an increase of 2,579 feet, in just 1 minute. This climb phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north of RB19 Glen Canyon Dam Page. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The Spitfire then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles northwest of RB19 Glen Canyon Dam Page. The descent phase saw the aircraft drop from an altitude of 7,486 feet to 4,349 feet, a decrease of 3,138 feet, in 3 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 33 from the south, heading 352.0° at an altitude of 106 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 5,963 feet. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 98 knots. The touchdown point was 1,069 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 82 knots. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -95 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 222°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 3,464 feet, which was 58% of the runway's length. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used -1 pound of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 33 at KPGA Page Municipal Airport in the Spitfire Mk IX

Landing Score 88.37 %

Landing Summary

The Spitfire Mk IX aircraft successfully landed at KPGA Page Municipal Airport, with a final approach from the south at a heading of 352.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 106 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 33, which has a length of 5,963 feet.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 98 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to slow down more quickly before touchdown. The touchdown point was 1,069 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive with the landing. The touchdown speed of 82 knots was also a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 14 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 63°F and a light wind of 3 knots from 222°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots, which suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing.

The total landing distance was 3,464 feet, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of speed and alignment.
