The aircraft, a Piper PA28-236 Dakota with the registration N1303W, successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 18L. The pilot demonstrated exceptional skill and control throughout the final approach and landing phases. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 176.0° at an altitude of 162 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. The threshold speed of 77 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The touchdown distance of 1,209 feet was also good, suggesting that the pilot was able to flare the aircraft correctly and touch down smoothly.
The touchdown speed of 67 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touch down gently. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 2,053 feet was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touch down smoothly, and that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the pilot's performance during this landing was exceptional, and the aircraft was handled with care and precision. The landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and it demonstrates the importance of attention to detail and control during the final approach and landing phases.
