Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06 at KMTP Montauk Airport, a small airfield located in Montauk, New York. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 70 kt, covering a distance of 262 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 269°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of KMTP Montauk Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 899 ft above sea level (asl) to 2,788 ft asl, an increase of 1,888 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid climb was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its descent from 3,141 ft asl to 2,622 ft asl, a decrease of 519 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This descent was followed by another level cruise, which lasted 10 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb, this time from 1,793 ft asl to 3,483 ft asl, an increase of 1,691 ft in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The flight continued with a series of level cruises and climbs, with the aircraft passing over various locations, including Gardiners Island Landing Field Springs, Niantic, Old Lyme, and Saybrook Manor. The aircraft also made a final approach to runway 05 at KGON Groton New London Airport, a larger airfield located in Groton, Connecticut.

The final approach was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 22.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,161 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 1,521 meters. The threshold speed at 54 kt was well below the target, and the pilot had to be careful not to stall the aircraft. The touchdown distance was good at 175 meters, and the touchdown speed at 46 kt was also good.

However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -563 ft per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270°.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 49 nautical miles, and the flight took 35 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 20 kg of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 85.25 %
Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KGON Groton New London Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 22.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,161 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, ensuring a good threshold height and maintaining a safe speed of 54 knots, which was well below the target threshold speed to avoid stalling.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 175 meters and a speed of 46 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -563 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 9.3 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance was 301 meters, which accounted for only 20% of the runway length. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop relatively quickly. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 11.4 meters. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor areas for improvement.
