Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Piper PA-38 Tomahawk
Landing Score 95.14 %
Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 95.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 230.0° at 1 nautical mile and 329 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, taking into account the runway length of 1,814 meters and the local weather conditions.

The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which is the designated runway for landing at EGPE Inverness Airport. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 74 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to achieve a smoother landing.

The touchdown point was 134 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 42 kt was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The touchdown rate of -27 fpm was also perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and avoid any excessive deceleration.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down. This is an important aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft remains stable and under control during the landing process.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing process even smoother. Overall, the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft demonstrated excellent landing skills, achieving a high score and showcasing the pilot's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions.
