Pattern Crosswind

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the PA38 Tomahawk
Landing Score 98.25 %
Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at an altitude of 70.0 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was likely a standard procedure, taking advantage of the prevailing wind conditions to minimize the impact of crosswinds.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 65 knots, which is an optimal threshold speed for a PA38 Tomahawk. This speed allows for a smooth transition from the landing flare to the touchdown, reducing the risk of a hard landing or a bounce. The touchdown distance of 363 meters was also within the expected range for this aircraft, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to control its descent effectively.

The touchdown speed of 38 knots was also satisfactory, as it was within the recommended range for a PA38 Tomahawk. This speed is low enough to prevent damage to the aircraft's landing gear and to minimize the risk of a runway excursion. The touchdown rate of -0.3 meters per second was excellent, indicating that the pilot had a high degree of control over the aircraft's descent and was able to touch down smoothly.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 170°. This wind direction was from the south west, which is a relatively calm direction for the airport. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also minimal, at 1 knot. These conditions made it easier for the pilot to control the aircraft during the landing.

The total landing distance of 518 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to control its descent effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had a high degree of control over the aircraft's movement after touchdown.

Overall, this landing was a success, demonstrating the pilot's proficiency in operating a PA38 Tomahawk aircraft. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown speed, combined with the favorable weather conditions, resulted in a smooth and safe landing.
