The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, required a takeoff distance of 159 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 73 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 337 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 36L, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 39 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg required a distance of 1 nautical mile, which was covered in 50 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 89.3 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 68 seconds.

The base leg turn required a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 18.7 degrees. The base leg itself covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the final approach, covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The final approach was made to runway 36L from the south, with a heading of 358.0 degrees at an altitude of 681 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 36L was characterized by a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 58 knots. The touchdown distance was good, requiring 99 meters to come to a stop. The touchdown speed was also good, at 52 knots. However, the touchdown rate was heavy, at -622 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned from the centreline, by 72.7 meters.

The total landing distance was 207 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned from the centreline, by 75.8 meters. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, which was covered in 6 minutes. The flight used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel.

Landing on runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport in the PA28 Warrior II

Landing Score 72.48 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at YLIL Lilydale Airport, achieving a score of 72.5%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 358.0° at 2 nautical miles and 681 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36L, which has a length of 1,324 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 58 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 99 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was heavy at -622 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a steeper-than-desired descent.

The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 72.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 337°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots.

The total landing distance of 207 meters was only 16% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 75.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment. The pilot may need to work on refining their approach and landing techniques to achieve a higher score in the future.
