Landing on runway 24 at 4N1 Greenwood Lake in the microsoft-aircraft-pa28-236-dakota [FRNGS]

Landing Score 97.96 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Microsoft PA28-236 Dakota, successfully landed at 4N1 Greenwood Lake, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing technique. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 215.0° at 1 nautical mile and 288 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the pilot to maintain a good visual reference of the runway and its surroundings.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 78 knots being achieved, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 254 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly higher than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance.

The landing rate of -87 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor error in the pilot's alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 177°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which reduced the risk of crosswind effects on the landing. The total landing distance of 547 meters was 52% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed and descent to maintain a safe and efficient landing.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and align it with the centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in their landing technique.
