Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.5 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.5 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, successfully took off after covering a distance of 199 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 67 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 19 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 81.2 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nautical miles and took 62 seconds to complete.

Following the downwind leg, the pilot executed a base leg turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 16.9 degrees to the runway. The final approach to runway 23 was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 229.0 degrees at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 320 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the touchdown point located 52 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was recorded at 51 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -47 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions had changed, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 221 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance covered was 792 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 229.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile away and at an altitude of 320 feet above ground level.

Upon reaching the runway threshold, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 78 kt, suggesting a cautious approach to ensure a safe landing. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, still resulted in a relatively short landing distance.

The touchdown speed of 51 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -47 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt from 221°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 kt, which further contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 792 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-controlled rollout and a safe exit from the runway.

Overall, this landing demonstrates the pilot's expertise and ability to handle the aircraft with precision and control, even in challenging conditions. The landing was safe, efficient, and well-executed, showcasing the capabilities of the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche.
