Landing on runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport in the PA28 Archer II

Landing Score 81.63 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, with a final approach from the north east, heading 223.0° at 1 nm and 674 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, achieving a threshold speed of 71 kt, which is within the acceptable range.

However, the aircraft's touchdown point was excessively long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly high on the approach, resulting in a longer than necessary landing distance. The touchdown speed of 60 kt was still within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -103 fpm was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 78°F and a headwind of 8 kt at 240°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 kt, which further contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 3,336 ft was 65% of the available runway length of 5,124 ft. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it was still within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of approach control and touchdown point management. With some adjustments to the approach technique, the pilot can aim to achieve a shorter landing distance and a more precise touchdown point.
