The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, took off from runway 32 at KRTS Reno/Stead Airport, requiring a takeoff distance of 517 meters, which equates to 22% of the runway.
During takeoff, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 68 knots (approximately 78 mph) and took off with no wind assistance or opposition. The temperature was a pleasant 22 degrees Celsius, and the wind was calm at 0 knots with no specific direction.
Following takeoff, the Comanche began its enroute climb, starting at an altitude of 5,382 feet above sea level and ascending to 7,700 feet in a relatively short period of 3 minutes while covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft leveled out at its cruising altitude shortly after passing over KRTS Reno/Stead.
During the enroute level cruise, the aircraft flew at a steady altitude for extended periods, covering a substantial distance of 33 nautical miles in 23 minutes, followed by a brief period of level cruise south of Cold Springs and west of Zephyr Cove.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent near Tahoma, California, and gradually lost altitude from 8,495 feet to 7,588 feet in a mere 2 minutes while covering 3 nautical miles. From there, it continued its descent to initiate the final approach to runway 18 at KTVL Lake Tahoe Airport.
The aircraft made a final approach from the north, flying at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,229 feet above ground level. It touched down safely on the runway, with the touchdown distance being within acceptable limits of 282 meters and at a speed of 45 knots, which is a good outcome.
The landing was performed in slightly misaligned conditions, with the runway touchdown position being slightly off-centerline by 5.5 meters. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was off-centerline by 10.9 meters. The threshold speed was marginally lower than target at 62 knots, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
After landing, the aircraft completed a short taxiing distance to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering under 1 nautical mile. Throughout the flight, the total distance covered was 53 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 29 kilograms of fuel in the process, completing the journey in 36 minutes.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche has completed a successful landing at KTVL Lake Tahoe Airport, with a final approach score of 92.2%. The aircraft began its descent from a height of 1,229 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nm from the runway, heading in the direction of 193.0°.
As the aircraft approached the runway threshold, it was at a suitable altitude, with a height not too high or too low. The threshold speed, however, was slightly below the target at 62 kt, indicating that the pilot might have been able to adjust their flare slightly for a smoother touchdown.
The aircraft landed on runway 18 at KTVL, which is 1,740 m in length, making the landing distance of 787 m a relatively short 45% of the available runway. The touchdown distance of 282 m was also good, and the touchdown speed of 45 kt was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -263 fpm was only fair, suggesting that the pilot might have been able to use a gentler descent for a smoother touchdown.
Another area for improvement was the alignment of the aircraft on the runway, which was slightly misaligned by 5.5 m from the centreline at touchdown. This was exacerbated during the rollout, with the aircraft remaining misaligned by a further 10.9 m.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19 °C and a relatively light wind of 2 kt from a direction of 40 °. This resulted in a minor tailwind component of 2 kt. Despite these ideal conditions, the pilot could still benefit from a more precise approach and touchdown alignment. Overall, however, the landing was deemed successful and with some minor adjustments could have been even smoother.
