Departure

On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 5.9 m.

What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 5.9 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.

Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2Departure Climb 3

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 30L at KBFL Meadows Field in Bakersfield, California. The takeoff distance was 466 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 75 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of KBFL Meadows Field, it encountered local weather conditions of 35°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 1,026 feet above sea level to 10,400 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,374 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles west of Bear Valley Springs, California. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 2 miles west of Bear Valley Springs. The descent took the aircraft from 10,898 feet above sea level to 3,744 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,154 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead KMHV Mojave Airport in Mojave, California. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30 at KMHV Mojave Airport was made from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 0 nautical miles and 199 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 230 meters, which was 12% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 55 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -202 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 280°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 60 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 93.16 %
Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KMHV Mojave Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 0 nm and 199 ft above ground level (agl). 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 67 kt. The touchdown distance of 230 m was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed of 55 kt was slightly lower than expected, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -202 fpm. A fair touchdown rate suggests that the aircraft touched down with a slightly higher rate of descent than desired, but it did not compromise the safety of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle wind of 8 kt at 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt. These conditions likely contributed to the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing.

Despite the successful landing, there were some minor issues with the aircraft's alignment. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.5 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 m from the centreline. These misalignments may have been due to factors such as wind drift or pilot error, but they did not significantly impact the safety of the landing.

Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was satisfactory, and the aircraft's systems functioned as expected. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining better alignment during the landing and rollout phases.
