Landing on runway 24 at 4N1 Greenwood Lake in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 87.78 %

Landing Summary

The landing of the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche at 4N1 Greenwood Lake airfield was a successful event, with the aircraft scoring 87.8% in its performance review. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, aligning itself with the 208.0° heading as it descended to 312 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The final approach to runway 24 was executed smoothly and efficiently.

Upon touching down on the runway, the aircraft displayed a satisfactory performance. The threshold height was good, and although the threshold speed of 61 knots was slightly below the target, it still allowed for a controlled touchdown. The touchdown distance of 349 meters was also commensurate with the runway's length, indicating a reasonable deceleration during the landing sequence. Moreover, the touchdown speed of 44 knots and the touchdown rate of -187 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits.

The alignment of the aircraft with the runway during touchdown was excellent, but the situation worsened during the rollout. Although the total landing distance of 483 meters was somewhat reduced compared to the available runway length, accounting for only 46% of the runway, the rollout alignment was slightly off-center by about 7.7 meters.

Weather conditions on the day of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 24°C and light winds blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind, tailwind, and headwind components were very minimal, which might have contributed to the relatively efficient touchdown and landing performance of the aircraft.
