This flight was conducted in a PA28 Arrow III aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from Blackpool, England. The aircraft began its ascent from an altitude of 745 feet above sea level, steadily increasing to 2,434 feet above sea level over the course of 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This climb demonstrated a notable increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 1,688 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft initiated an enroute descent from Blackpool, England. The descent took place from an altitude of 2,438 feet above sea level, gradually decreasing to 117 feet above sea level over the course of 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This descent showcased the aircraft's ability to efficiently reduce altitude while maintaining a safe and controlled rate of descent.
The final approach to runway 10 at Blackpool International Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading at 95.0 degrees and maintaining an altitude of 86 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the 1,860-meter runway, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 80 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 361 meters, and the touchdown speed of 58 knots was within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with the aircraft touching down at a rate of -98 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 1 knot was present.
The total landing distance was 595 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing and rollout phases. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft consumed a total of -104 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at EGNH Blackpool International Airport, achieving a score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 95.0° at 0 nm and 86 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 1,860 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 80 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft earlier to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 361 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 58 kt was also within acceptable limits.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the approach path. However, the touchdown rate of -98 fpm was excellent, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance of 595 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
