The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at EGPN Dundee Airport, where the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 370 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 60 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 09, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 38 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 8 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, which was 26.6 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 89 seconds to complete.

The pilot then turned onto the base leg, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, which was 36.2 degrees. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 15 seconds to complete. The final turn onto the final approach was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 from the west, heading 95.0 degrees at an altitude of 251 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 233 meters and a touchdown speed of 44 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -88 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 6 nautical miles, taking 5 minutes to complete, and a fuel consumption of -42 kilograms. This indicates that the aircraft used less fuel than it was carrying, resulting in a net gain of fuel.

Landing on runway 09 at EGPN Dundee Airport in the PA38 Tomahawk

Landing Score 95.35 %

Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPN Dundee Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 95.0° at an altitude of 251 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 09.

The runway at EGPN Dundee Airport has a length of 1,390 meters, providing a suitable surface for the PA38 Tomahawk to touch down. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude before touchdown. The threshold speed of 59 knots was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.

The touchdown distance of 233 meters was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The touchdown speed of 44 knots was also within acceptable limits, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. The touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting off the runway or experiencing uneven wear on the landing gear.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots, which did not appear to affect the aircraft's performance during the landing. Overall, the PA38 Tomahawk's landing at EGPN Dundee Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
