The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at EGPN Dundee Airport, where the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 176 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 65 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 09, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 36 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was minimal, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 7 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which involved a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees at 27.2 degrees.

The downwind leg of the pattern was 2 nautical miles long and took 84 seconds to complete. The pilot then turned onto the base leg, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees at 36.0 degrees. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 13 seconds to complete. The final turn was also less than 1 nautical mile long and took 22 seconds to complete.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 from the west, heading at 94.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 234 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 231 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 50 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -80 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the pilot maintained a good threshold height throughout the approach.

The local weather conditions remained the same throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was minimal, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight took 4 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 09 at EGPN Dundee Airport in the PA38 Tomahawk

Landing Score 96.85 %

Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPN Dundee Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 94.0° at an altitude of 234 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. The threshold speed of 63 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 231 meters was also good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled descent.

However, there was a slight issue with the touchdown speed, which was recorded at 50 knots. This was a little faster than ideal, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing. The touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. There was no crosswind, but there was a slight tailwind of 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown. The score of 96.8% reflects the high standard of flying achieved by the pilot on this occasion.
