Landing on runway 27 at YRMD Richmond Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 96.14 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at YRMD Richmond Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 281.0° at 1 nautical mile and 336 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.

The temperature at the time of landing was 39°C, and the wind was blowing at 23 knots from 309°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and landed safely on runway 27, which is 1,521 meters long.

The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 59 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 164 meters. The touchdown speed was 45 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was -167 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.4 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The total landing distance was 281 meters, which is only 18% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's performance was commendable, considering the challenging weather conditions.
