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 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, successfully took off after covering a distance of 408 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 83 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

Following the takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 23, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 69 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind was executed in a remarkably short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 5 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 25.0 degrees. The downwind leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 seconds.

The base leg turn was the next phase of the pattern, where the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 165.4 degrees. The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading at 77.0 degrees and at an altitude of 333 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 05 was executed with a threshold speed that was excessively high at 96 knots. The touchdown point was located 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 77 knots, which was considered fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 2 nautical miles, which was covered in 2 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 1 kilogram.

Landing report
Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Piper PA-28 Arrow III
Landing Score 77.32 %
Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 77.3%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 77.0° at 1 nautical mile and 333 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully 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 excessively high at 96 knots, which may indicate that the pilot could have slowed down the aircraft more efficiently during the approach. This could be a point for improvement in future flights.

The touchdown point was 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been slightly too high or too far back on the runway. The touchdown speed of 77 knots was also reported as fast, indicating that the pilot could have slowed down the aircraft more before touching down. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent smoothly.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly high touchdown speed.

Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the pilot was able to successfully land the aircraft at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating good control and handling skills.
