The flight began with the aircraft, a Microsoft PA28-236 Dakota, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KCDW Essex County Airport. This process took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 251 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 360 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind present. The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern from runway 28, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 24 seconds, also covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The angle to the runway was 45 degrees, with a turn angle of 51.4 degrees. The downwind leg itself took 59 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg turn was then executed, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and having an angle to the runway of 45 degrees, with a turn angle of 61.4 degrees.

The base leg was completed in 36 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn was then executed, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28 from the east, heading 263.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 105 feet above ground level.

However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around, climbing to an altitude of 9 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 28, which had a length of 827 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 80 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 196 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 72 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -63 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 5.0 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of departure. The total landing distance was 526 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 7.9 meters from the centreline.

The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight took 13 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 93.36 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Microsoft-simulated PA-28-236 Dakota, successfully landed on runway 28 at KCDW Essex County Airport with a score of 95.6%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at 0 nm and 105 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 80 kt, but still within a safe range. The landing distance was good at 196 m, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the descent. However, the touchdown speed of 72 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly longer landing distance.

The touchdown rate was excellent at -63 fpm, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 360°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance was 526 m, which is 64% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the rollout, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 m from the centreline.

Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, but there were a few minor deviations that prevented the score from being higher. With some adjustments to the approach and touchdown speed, the pilot could potentially achieve an even higher score.
