The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, where the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 317 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 58 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 302 degrees, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 28, completing the entry in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 62.5 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 80 seconds.

The pilot then turned onto the base leg, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 36.7 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The final turn was made, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 37 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28 from the east, heading 279.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 315 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 28 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 44 knots and a distance of 315 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect at -42 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 302 degrees, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.

The total landing distance was 826 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft came to a stop without any issues. After landing, the pilot taxied the aircraft to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes.

Landing on runway 28 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport in the PA38 Tomahawk

Landing Score 100 %

Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 28 from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 279.0° at 1 nautical mile and 315 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the good threshold height and the fact that the aircraft was able to maintain a steady heading.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 44 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 315 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 67 knots, but this was not a significant deviation.

The landing was further enhanced by the perfect runway touchdown alignment, which suggests that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 302°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward.

The total landing distance of 826 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's speed and descent rate, allowing for a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed even after touchdown.

Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach and landing phases.
