This flight was conducted in a PA28 Warrior II aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 08 at 6D9 Iosco Co., with a takeoff distance of 729 feet, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 61 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 75°F and winds of 12 knots at 195°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. After departing, the aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of 6D9 Iosco Co. East Tawas, Michigan. The climb started from an altitude of 1,153 feet above sea level and reached 1,850 feet, an increase of 697 feet, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 3 miles southwest of Au Sable, Michigan, and maintained this altitude for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 76°F and winds of 10 knots at 194°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was also 7 knots.
The aircraft touched down before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 50 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also excellent, at -74 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned from the centreline by 1,791 feet. The total landing distance was 505 feet, which accounted for only 4% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned from the centreline by 1,758 feet.
The post-flight taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft has successfully landed, achieving a score of 67.0%. While the touchdown speed of 50 kt was within the acceptable range, the touchdown itself occurred before the threshold, which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. However, the touchdown rate of -74 fpm was excellent, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was a major concern, as it was excessively misaligned by 1,791 ft from the centreline. This suggests that the pilot may have struggled to maintain a stable approach and align the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 76 °F and a moderate headwind of 7 kt, may have contributed to the difficulty in maintaining a stable approach.
The total landing distance of 505 ft was relatively short, accounting for only 4% of the runway. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 1,758 ft from the centreline, which is a concern as it suggests that the pilot may have lost control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful in terms of speed and distance, the excessive misalignment of the touchdown and rollout positions raises concerns about the pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach and control the aircraft during critical phases of flight.
