Landing Lights at 12:48:35 |
The aircraft, a Piper PA28-236 Dakota registered as FRNGS, successfully landed on runway 13L at Helwan Air Base, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft during the final approach from the northwest, maintaining a heading of 166.0° at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 829 feet above ground level. The landing was made at a threshold speed of 76 kt, which was considered good by the assessment standards.
Upon touching down, the aircraft's touchdown speed of 71 kt was slightly faster than optimal, resulting in a touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute, which was deemed fair. The aircraft landed within 200 meters of the threshold, adhering to a standard practice for minimizing runway usage. Notably, the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline of the runway.
During the landing, the local weather conditions posed minimal challenges, with the temperature at 34°C and winds averaging 5 kt at a direction of 14°. This resulted in a relatively minor crosswind impact of 4 kt and a tailwind of 3 kt. Consequently, the aircraft's total landing distance of 542 meters accounted for only 19% of the available runway length of 2,809 meters.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft exhibited a slight misalignment from the centerline, with an offset of 8.8 meters. Despite this minor issue, overall, the landing demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard landing procedures.
