The flight began with the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport. This process took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 05, with a takeoff distance of 1,348 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 756 feet above sea level to 3,499 feet, an increase of 2,743 feet, in just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 67°F.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began overhead Valley Falls, Rhode Island, and lasted for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began overhead Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,027 feet above sea level to 2,061 feet, a decrease of 967 feet, in 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Pocasset, Massachusetts, and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase that followed began 1 mile east of Forestdale, Massachusetts, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,675 feet above sea level to 511 feet, a decrease of 1,165 feet, in 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 132.0°, at an altitude of 458 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 66°F, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 130°.
The aircraft landed on runway 15, which had a length of 5,103 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 92 knots. The touchdown distance was 922 feet, and the touchdown speed was 71 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -78 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 58 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used 74 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport on runway 15. The pilot demonstrated exceptional skill and control throughout the final approach and landing phases. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the northwest, heading 132.0° at 2 nautical miles and 458 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. The threshold speed of 92 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The touchdown distance of 922 feet was also good, and the touchdown speed of 71 knots was within the recommended range.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -78 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touch down smoothly, without any significant impact or bounce. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind of 3 knots at 130°. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach. The total landing distance of 2,026 feet was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and it demonstrates the capabilities of the Piper Aerostar 600 aircraft.
