The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12R at KBFL Meadows Field, with the aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, taking off after a distance of 497 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 43 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 299 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots.

Following the departure, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. This brief cruise phase was followed by an enroute climb, which began 1 mile south of KBFL Meadows Field and saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 848 feet above sea level to 9,474 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,626 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.

The enroute climb was followed by a series of level cruise and descent phases, with the aircraft cruising at various altitudes and covering different distances. Notably, the aircraft descended from 9,511 feet above sea level to 8,997 feet above sea level, a decrease of 514 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. Another significant descent phase saw the aircraft drop from 9,607 feet above sea level to 4,610 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,997 feet, in 9 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 30 at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport, Captain G Allan Hancock Field, was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 278.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,524 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 62 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 66 knots. The touchdown distance was 194 meters, which was 20% of the runway length.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 320 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.3 meters. The total landing distance was 479 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 79 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes, with the aircraft using 21 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport, Captain G Allan Hancock Field, with a score of 96.0%. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 278.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,524 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,441 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 66 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 194 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

However, the touchdown speed of 62 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -229 feet per minute (fpm). This is considered fair, but it could be improved upon in future landings.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction during the rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have assisted the pilot in maintaining control during the landing. The total landing distance of 479 meters was 20% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and rollout.
