Landing on runway 30 at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport Captain G Allan Hancock Field in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 87.81 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport, Captain G Allan Hancock Field, with a score of 87.8%. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from the south east, heading 318.0° at 2 nautical miles and 808 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,441 meters.

The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent. However, the threshold speed of 63 knots was slightly below the target, suggesting a slight delay in the aircraft's approach. The touchdown distance of 266 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 42 knots was also within acceptable limits.

Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -278 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from 279°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.

The total landing distance of 305 meters was only 12% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centreline, suggesting that the aircraft may have drifted off the centreline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown.
