Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 15 at MSSS Ilopango International Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 67 kt, covering a distance of 173 m, which was 8% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 6 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind of 3 kt.

After takeoff, the pilot entered a right-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport. The entry into the pattern was smooth, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also successfully navigated, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 10 seconds.

As the pilot progressed through the pattern, a downwind turn was executed, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nm at an angle of 22.1 ° to the runway. The downwind leg itself was short, lasting less than 1 nm in 7 seconds. The base leg turn was then executed, with the aircraft covering a distance of 2 nm at an angle of 170.6 ° to the runway.

The final approach to runway 33 was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 6.0 ° and descending at a rate of -30 ft agl. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 54 kt and a distance of 450 m. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -143 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 6 kt from a direction of 269 °, resulting in a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 3 kt. The pilot's performance was impressive, with the aircraft using only 1 kg of fuel to cover a total distance of 3 nm, taking 3 minutes to complete the flight.

Landing on runway 33 at MSSS Ilopango International Airport in the PA28 Warrior II
Landing Score 63.3 %
Landing Summary

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at MSSS Ilopango International Airport, with a score of 63.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 6.0° at 1 nautical mile and 30 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a smooth touchdown rate of -143 feet per minute (fpm).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 33, which has a length of 2,254 meters. The threshold height at 97 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed of 73 knots was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling at a higher speed than intended when reaching the threshold.

Despite the slight discrepancies in threshold height and speed, the touchdown distance of 450 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 54 knots was also within acceptable limits. The smooth touchdown rate further emphasizes the pilot's skill in executing a controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a relatively light wind of 6 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.

Overall, while there were some minor discrepancies in the approach and landing, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to execute a safe and controlled landing at MSSS Ilopango International Airport.
