The Piper PA-24 Comanche taxied to runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a takeoff distance of 482 m, which represented 31 % of the runway. Liftoff occurred at 58 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 33 °C with wind from 219° at 10 kt, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.

Climb began approximately 1 nm south-west of KSEZ, where the aircraft rose from 5,228 ft asl to 5,299 ft asl, gaining 71 ft in less than one minute while covering less than 1 nm.

Level cruise was initiated from the same point, lasting three minutes and encompassing a distance of 5 nm.

Descent started about 2 nm south-west of KSEZ, with the aircraft descending from 5,897 ft asl to 5,070 ft asl, a loss of 827 ft over three minutes while traveling 5 nm.

The final approach to runway 21 was flown from the north-east on a heading of 209.0° at 1 nm and 336 ft agl, under the same temperature of 33 °C and wind of 10 kt from 219°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and 10 kt head-wind.

Landing on runway 21, whose total length is 1,568 m, occurred with a threshold height of 62 ft agl that was above target and a threshold speed of 82 kt that was higher than expected. The touchdown point was beyond the midway point of the runway, using more than 50 % of the available length, and the aircraft touched down at 62 kt with a fair vertical speed of minus 207 fpm. The touchdown location was offset 10.1 m from the centreline.

Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 1,246 m, representing 79 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was slightly off centreline by 11.1 m.

In summary, the flight covered 12 nm, took 12, and consumed 7 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 73.49 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 209.0° at 1 NM and 336 ft agl.

At threshold the aircraft was 62 ft agl, which was above the target height, and the approach speed was 82 kt, noted as too high.

Touchdown occurred well beyond the intended aim point, using more than 50 % of the available runway. The aircraft was fast at 62 kt, the vertical rate was fair at minus 207 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 10.1 m from the centreline.

During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off centreline by 11.1 m and the total landing distance was 1,246 m, representing 79 % of the runway length.

To improve future performance, aim to achieve touchdown within the first 30 % of runway length and concentrate on maintaining centreline alignment through flare and rollout. Reducing the approach speed to the target value will also help keep the touchdown point nearer the intended aim point.
