Landing on runway 05 at EGHF Solent Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 88.2 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at EGHF Solent Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.2%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 35.0° at 1 nautical mile and 757 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 1,156 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 89 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to improve their approach speed to achieve a more optimal touchdown. The touchdown distance was good at 248 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the runway length. However, the touchdown speed of 75 knots was faster than ideal, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.

The total landing distance was 660 meters, which accounts for 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of approach speed and touchdown speed. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot may be able to achieve an even higher score and improve the overall safety and efficiency of the landing.
