The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at Wamego Municipal Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the 2,872-foot runway and lifted off at a speed of 56 knots. The takeoff distance was 581 feet, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 33°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 180°, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.

After taking off, the pilot entered a right-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft in a circular path around the airport. The entry into the pattern was smooth, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds. As the pilot continued with the pattern, the right-hand crosswind leg was completed in a similarly short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds.

The pilot then initiated a downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself was 1 nautical mile long and took 25 seconds to complete. Following this, the pilot executed a base leg turn, again with a 45-degree angle to the runway, and a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg was short, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds.

The final turn into the runway was completed in a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 32 seconds. The pilot then began the final approach to runway 18, flying the aircraft from the north at a heading of 179.0° and an altitude of 460 feet above ground level (agl). The approach was made at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 52 knots and a distance of 44 feet. The touchdown rate was -137 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the pilot was able to maintain perfect runway rollout alignment.

The total landing distance was 770 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The pilot used a total of 8 pounds of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 9 nautical miles and took 5 minutes to complete. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled maneuvers, with the pilot demonstrating good airmanship and adherence to safe flying practices.

Landing on runway 18 at 69K Wamego Mun in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 98.14 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at the Wamego Municipal Airport, scoring an impressive 98.1% on its final approach. The aircraft was approaching runway 18 from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 460 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 52 knots, which was well below the target threshold speed. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a safe and controlled approach, avoiding the risk of stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 44 feet was also good, suggesting that the pilot had a firm grasp on the aircraft's descent and was able to bring it down smoothly.

The landing rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute (fpm), which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a straight and level approach to the runway. This is particularly important, as it reduces the risk of veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of control during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 32°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 180°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward. The total landing distance of 770 feet was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe approach and landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were on full display.
