Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 387 meters, which was 21% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 61 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it followed a standard procedure. The entry into the pattern was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, taking less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The downwind turn was made at an angle of 86.6 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 76 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was made at an angle of 45.4 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg was then completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The final turn into the runway was also made in 26 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 229.0 degrees at an altitude of 319 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing was executed successfully, with the touchdown point being 140 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 42 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also perfect at -14 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 6 nautical miles, taking 5 minutes to cover this distance. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed efficiently and safely, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures.

Landing report
Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Piper PA-38 Tomahawk
Landing Score 95.35 %
Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 95.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, aligning with a heading of 229.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 319 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 23.

The runway at EGPE Inverness Airport has a length of 1,814 meters, providing a suitable surface for the PA38 Tomahawk to touch down. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude above the runway during the approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed, registering at 74 knots. This may be attributed to the aircraft's performance characteristics or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the approach.

The touchdown point was located 140 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 42 knots was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a safe speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -14 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without excessive deceleration.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing even more straightforward. Overall, the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft performed well during the landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled manner in which the aircraft touched down on the runway.
