Flight narrative

The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an L-39 Albatros, then departed from runway 30 at Mojave Airport (KMHV) in Mojave, California. The takeoff distance was 1,868 feet, which is 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 118 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 299°.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,795 feet above sea level to 7,269 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,474 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 2 miles north of Pontious Airport (1CL2) in Mojave, California. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 7,346 feet above sea level to 2,109 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,236 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 2 miles north of Canyon Country, California. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,192 feet above sea level to 4,280 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,089 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 2 miles north of North Hills, California. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,424 feet above sea level to 915 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,509 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, Santa Monica Municipal Airport (KSMO), it began its final approach to runway 21 from the northeast, heading 222.0° at an altitude of 791 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 45°.

The aircraft landed on runway 21 at KSMO, which has a length of 4,977 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 88 knots was well below the target speed, requiring the pilot to be careful not to stall. The touchdown distance was good at 284 feet, and the touchdown speed of 81 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -869 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 2,265 feet, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The total flight distance was 68 nautical miles, and the flight took 18 minutes to complete, using 0 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 21 at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport in the Aero L-39 Albatros
Landing Score 64.48 %
Landing Summary

The L-39 Albatros aircraft successfully landed at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 68.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 222.0° at 2 nautical miles and 791 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 4,977 feet.

The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 88 knots was well below the target, indicating a controlled approach. However, pilots were advised to be cautious not to stall the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 284 feet was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 81 knots was also within acceptable limits.

Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -869 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which could be a minor concern for future approaches.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 45°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.

The total landing distance of 2,265 feet was 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment.
