Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 08 at KFSM Fort Smith Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 531 feet, which accounted for 7% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 126°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of KFSM Fort Smith Regional Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,115 feet above sea level to 2,175 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,060 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Fort Smith, Arkansas. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 3 miles west of Spiro, Oklahoma, descending from an altitude of 2,446 feet above sea level to 1,694 feet above sea level, a decrease of 752 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 3 miles north east of Bokoshe, Oklahoma, and lasting for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35 at KJSV Sallisaw Municipal Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 357.0° at an altitude of 1,656 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 35 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,145 feet and a touchdown speed of 58 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 126°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,245 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 37 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 38 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 27 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 17 pounds.
