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 quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a takeoff distance of 616 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 85 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 272 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 55 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 21 seconds, covering a similar distance. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 53.1 degrees to the runway, and the distance covered was 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 81 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 56.9 degrees to the runway, and the distance covered was 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 28 seconds to complete. The final turn was made in 25 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 229.0 degrees at an altitude of 175 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was completed with a touchdown point 205 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 67 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -4 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and took 5 minutes to complete, using 2 kilograms of fuel. The flight was completed with a good threshold height and a touchdown speed that, although a little fast, was still within acceptable limits.

Landing report
Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Piper PA-28 Arrow III
Landing Score 93.3 %
Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, aligning with a heading of 229.0° at an altitude of 175 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than expected at 91 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to reduce the approach speed to achieve a more optimal touchdown.

The touchdown point was located 205 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to make a more precise approach. However, the touchdown speed of 67 knots was a little faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the approach speed further.

One of the notable aspects of the landing was the perfect touchdown rate of -4 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown with precision. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and aligned approach.

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°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not appear to significantly impact the landing. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, achieving a high score despite a few minor areas for improvement.
