Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft required a takeoff distance of 1,335 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 64 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 05, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in just 19 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn was even quicker, taking only 7 seconds to complete. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45.2 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 97 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was another 1 nautical mile in distance, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 47.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 31 seconds to complete. The final turn was also less than 1 nautical mile in distance and took 32 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 from the southwest, heading at 49.0 degrees and at an altitude of 231 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 36 knots, which was within the target range, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -95 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

The flight was a relatively short one, covering a total distance of 8 nautical miles in 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight demonstrated the PA38 Tomahawk's agility and responsiveness, as well as the pilot's skill and experience in navigating the aircraft through various phases of flight.

Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, aligning with a heading of 49.0° at an altitude of 231 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 67 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly late in reducing speed during the final approach.

The touchdown point was located 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot maintained good control and alignment during the landing, and the aircraft touched down smoothly. The touchdown speed of 36 knots was reported as good, suggesting that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft to a safe speed before touchdown.

One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -95 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a very low rate of descent, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control and was able to smoothly transition from the final approach to the landing.

In terms of runway alignment, the touchdown was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and would not have presented a significant challenge for the pilot.

Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and alignment throughout the procedure.
