The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, required a takeoff distance of 428 feet, which is 5% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 70 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 56 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 7 knots and no crosswind.

As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it followed a right-hand pattern entry from runway 25. The distance covered during this phase was less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind leg was also completed, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 77.0 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 4 nautical miles long and took 125 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was the next phase, with a distance of 3 nautical miles and an angle of 32.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 36 seconds to complete. The final turn was also less than 1 nautical mile in length and took 41 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25 from the east, heading 265.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,012 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a threshold speed of 71 knots and a touchdown distance of 780 feet. The touchdown speed was 60 knots, and the touchdown rate was -168 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 49 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 182 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -126 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport in the PA28 Arrow III

Landing Score 99.3 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,012 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 71 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 780 feet, which is within the expected range for a PA28 Arrow III. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.

However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 13 feet off-center. This minor deviation may be attributed to the crosswind, which was 7 knots from the left, or the headwind, which was 1 knot. Despite this minor issue, the overall landing was considered good, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 49°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 182°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were well within the acceptable range for a safe landing, and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through these conditions was impressive. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well and the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and expertise.
