At LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu, a Pitts aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 26, covering a distance of 497 meters, which accounted for 66% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 94 knots, taking advantage of the favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and precise turn, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 91 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, which covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, was executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a deviation of 7.2°. The aircraft then proceeded to the final approach, aligning itself with runway 08 from the southwest, at a heading of 56.0° and an altitude of 1,214 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 104 knots, which was excessively fast, and at a point that utilized more than 75% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was firm, at -361 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline by 19.8 meters. The total landing distance covered 1,316 meters, which was 176% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 85.6 meters from the centerline. The aircraft consumed 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a total distance of 7 nautical miles, taking approximately 5 minutes to complete.

Landing Score 55.98 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 08 at LRPW Gheorghe Valentin Bibescu from the south west was initiated at 3 nm and 1,214 ft agl, with a heading of 56.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 112 kt, indicating a potential loss of control during the landing phase.

The aircraft touched down at a speed of 104 kt, which was also excessively fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -361 fpm. The touchdown point was located at a significant distance from the available runway, using more than 75% of the 747 m runway length. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.8 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind of 2 kt, did not significantly impact the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 1,316 m was 176% of the available runway, indicating a suboptimal landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 85.6 m from the centreline, further contributing to the overall score of 56.0%. Overall, the landing performance was below expectations, with several key performance indicators exceeding acceptable limits.
