The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, required a takeoff distance of 101 meters, which was 8% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 56 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 36L, requiring a distance of less than 1 nautical mile to complete the turn in 38 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn from the same runway was completed in 31 seconds, also covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 60.8 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 87 seconds.

The base leg turn, which followed, required a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 28.3 degrees. The base leg itself was completed in 30 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn, which preceded the approach, was also completed in 13 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 36L was made from the south, with a heading of 9.0 degrees at an altitude of 470 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 59 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 290 meters, and the touchdown speed was also satisfactory, at 45 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -105 feet per minute (fpm).

However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 14.8 meters. The total landing distance was 551 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 12.1 meters from the centreline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the flight was satisfactory.

The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, which was completed in 6 minutes, and the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport in the PA28 Warrior II

Landing Score 87.24 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at YLIL Lilydale Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.2%. The final approach to runway 36L was conducted from the south, with a heading of 9.0° at 1 nautical mile and 470 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 59 knots, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 290 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude. The touchdown speed of 45 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -105 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled landing.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor error in navigation. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
