Arrival Final 2

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 22 at KCDW Essex County Airport, with a takeoff distance of 255 meters, which was 21% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 76 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 165 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KCDW Essex County Airport, and climbed from 559 feet above sea level to 4,155 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,595 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The enroute climb was followed by a descent, which started overhead West Orange, New Jersey, and descended from 4,081 feet above sea level to 1,819 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,263 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting overhead Hillside, New Jersey, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The enroute cruise was followed by another descent, which started overhead KLDJ Linden Airport, and descended from 2,225 feet above sea level to 715 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,510 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a climb, starting overhead Chelsea, New York, and climbed from 714 feet above sea level to 1,350 feet above sea level, an increase of 636 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27 at KLDJ Linden Airport was made from the east, heading 235.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 953 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 60 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 177 meters, and the touchdown speed was 49 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 177 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 310 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 15 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 27 at KLDJ Linden Airport in the Piper PA-24 Comanche
Landing Score 92.48 %
Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KLDJ Linden Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 235.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 177°.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 953 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 60 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 177 meters. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute (fpm).

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 7.2 meters off-centerline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. The total landing distance was 310 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures. The slight deviation in touchdown position was the only notable issue, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
