Arrival Final 2

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight in question was conducted in a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 26 at KRTS Reno/Stead, with a takeoff distance of 387 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 70 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots blowing from 250°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the 4SD Reno/Stead Reno (Nevada, United States) and ascended from an altitude of 5,517 feet above sea level to 6,062 feet above sea level, an increase of 545 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at KRTS Reno/Stead was initiated from the east, with a heading of 264.0° at an altitude of 711 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway.

However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 17 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 26, which had a length of 2,240 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 55 knots.
