Arrival Final 4

Flight narrative

The flight began with the departure roll from runway 23 at Greeneville Municipal Airport (KGCY), where the Aero L-39 Albatros took off with a takeoff distance of 1,027 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 121 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius.

As the aircraft climbed out of Greeneville, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport, rising from an altitude of 2,480 feet above sea level to 5,456 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,976 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 4 miles southwest of Greeneville, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Parrottsville, where the aircraft descended from 5,445 feet above sea level to 2,710 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,735 feet in 3 minutes, while covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise 5 miles south of Newport, maintaining a steady altitude for 4 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 28 at Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport (KGKT) from the east, heading 275.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 792 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 1,567 meters. Although the threshold height was good, the threshold speed was too high at 106 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 200 meters, but the touchdown speed of 97 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 616 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.4 meters from the centreline.

The total flight distance was 42 nautical miles, which was completed in 12 minutes, and the aircraft used 59 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 28 at KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport in the Aero L-39 Albatros
Landing Score 87 %
Landing Summary

The Aero L-39 Albatros successfully landed at KGKT Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 792 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 28, which has a length of 1,567 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was too high at 106 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed than necessary during the approach, potentially leading to a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown distance of 200 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 97 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.

The touchdown rate was smooth at -128 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, which is relatively mild. The total landing distance of 616 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to land safely within a reasonable distance.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was misaligned by 22.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more optimal threshold speed and ensuring better alignment during the approach and rollout phases.
