Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 362 meters, which was 20% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 62 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. This favorable wind condition allowed the aircraft to maintain a stable flight path.

The pilot then entered a right-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport. The entry into the pattern was swift, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 15 seconds. As the aircraft continued around the pattern, it encountered a crosswind from the same direction as the runway, but the pilot skillfully managed the aircraft, covering the distance in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds.

The pattern consisted of a series of turns and legs, each carefully executed by the pilot. The downwind turn was made at an angle of 76.3 degrees to the runway, while the downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 62 seconds. The base leg turn was made at an angle of 51.0 degrees, and the base leg itself was short, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds.

As the aircraft approached the final turn, the pilot expertly guided it around the pattern, covering the distance in less than 1 nautical mile in 32 seconds. The final approach was made from the north-east, heading 230.0 degrees, at an altitude of 44.1 meters above ground level.

The landing was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 40 knots was well within the target range. The touchdown rate was also perfect, at -0.2 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The flight was a success, with the aircraft covering a total distance of 6 nautical miles in just 4 minutes. The fuel consumption was also minimal, with the aircraft using -42 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance in the challenging local weather conditions.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the PA38 Tomahawk
Landing Score 96.45 %
Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 230.0° at an altitude of 44.1 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway. This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and altitude.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, suggesting that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 72 knots, which may indicate a slight delay in the landing process. Nevertheless, the touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.

The touchdown speed of 40 knots was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down smoothly and safely. The touchdown rate of -0.2 meters per second was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway and able to land safely.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 170°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and would not have significantly impacted the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely and smoothly on the runway.
