Landing on runway 29 at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 94.1 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KSBP San Luis County Regional Airport, achieving a score of 94.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 308.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,442 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed on runway 29, which has a length of 1,464 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 73 kn, which is a minor deviation. The touchdown distance of 289 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 54 kn was also within acceptable limits.

One of the notable aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, which is a key factor in ensuring the safety of the passengers and crew.

However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 6.8 meters off the centerline. This is a minor deviation and may be due to various factors such as wind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 8 kn from 329°. The crosswind component was 3 kn, while the headwind component was 7 kn. These conditions were relatively calm and did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.

The total landing distance of 408 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction after touchdown.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and safely on the runway. The minor deviations in threshold speed and runway touchdown position do not detract from the overall success of the landing.
