The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield, achieving a score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 134.0° at an altitude of 211 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 66 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 64 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a slightly higher rate of descent. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled and stable descent.
The landing distance of 676 meters was 74% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot made a smooth and efficient approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway's length.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
