Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24L at EGSU Duxford Aerodrome, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, took off with a takeoff distance of 485 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 24L, with the distance covered being less than 1 nautical mile in 68 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in a mere 11 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was executed with precision, with the aircraft covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, and an angle of 13.7 degrees to the runway centerline.

The downwind leg of the pattern was completed in 37 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg turn was then executed, with the aircraft covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, and an angle of 4.9 degrees to the runway centerline. The final approach to runway 24L was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 244.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 206 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 24L was executed with precision, with the threshold height being good and the threshold speed being slightly below the target at 84 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 257 meters, and the touchdown speed was 64 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -156 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 614 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

In conclusion, the flight was executed with precision and control, with the aircraft performing well in the given weather conditions. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 8 kilograms.

Landing on runway 24L at EGSU Duxford Aerodrome in the Piper Aerostar 600
Landing Score 92.82 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at EGSU Duxford Aerodrome on runway 24L. The pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control throughout the final approach and landing, scoring an impressive 92.8%.

As the aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 244.0° at 1 nm and 206 ft above ground level (agl), the pilot maintained a steady and controlled descent. The landing on runway 24L, which has a length of 1,340 m, was executed with precision, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 84 kt.

The touchdown distance of 257 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 64 kt was also good. The touchdown rate of -156 fpm was well within the desired range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately judge the aircraft's position and speed.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 225°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance.

The total landing distance of 614 m was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing and rollout phases.

Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed and controlled approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and expertise.
