The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at EGSF Peterborough Business Airport on runway 28. The pilot demonstrated exceptional skill and control throughout the final approach and landing phases. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 273.0° at an altitude of 71 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. The threshold speed of 72 knots was well below the target speed, indicating that the pilot was taking a cautious approach to avoid stalling the aircraft. This is a commendable decision, as stalling can be a serious issue, especially during landing.
The touchdown distance of 42 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 68 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -99 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft down to the ground with minimal deceleration, which is a testament to their skill and control.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the tailwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 469 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase.
