Landing on runway 29 at KTRK Truckee Tahoe Airport in the Piper PA28-236 Dakota N1303W

Landing Score 97.92 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA28-236 Dakota aircraft, N1303W, successfully landed at KTRK Truckee Tahoe Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 300.0° at 1 nautical mile and 536 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 29, which has a length of 6,989 feet.

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 below the target speed of 71 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 1,497 feet, and the touchdown speed of 60 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 83°F and a wind speed of 20 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was not significantly impacted, as the landing distance of 1,983 feet was only 28% of the runway length.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. This suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable exit from the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory given the conditions.
