The flight began with a departure roll from runway 14 at Mountain Air Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper PA28-236 Dakota with the registration N1303W, accelerated down the 2,859-foot runway and lifted off at a speed of 60 knots. The takeoff distance was 810 feet, which accounted for 28% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 71°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 266°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued to an altitude of 5,279 feet above sea level. During this climb, the aircraft increased its altitude by 692 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 1 mile east of the airport.

The final approach to runway 14 at Mountain Air Airport was initiated from a heading of 135.0°, which was 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 580 feet above ground level. The aircraft then began its descent and touched down on the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 70 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -442 feet per minute. Despite the challenging touchdown, the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The landing distance was 2,305 feet, which accounted for 81% of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 267°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and lasted for 8 minutes, consuming 4 pounds of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled climb, cruise, and descent, with a challenging touchdown that was well-handled by the pilot.

Landing on runway 14 at 2NC0 Mountain Air Airport in the Piper PA28-236 Dakota N1303W

Landing Score 90.93 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA28-236 Dakota aircraft, registered as N1303W, successfully landed at 2NC0 Mountain Air Airport, with a final approach from the north-west direction. The aircraft was heading at 135.0° and was 1 nautical mile away from the runway at an altitude of 580 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot achieved a high score of 90.9% for this landing.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 14, which has a length of 2,859 feet. However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 70 knots, which is slightly below the threshold speed of 77 knots. The touchdown rate was also quite hard, at -442 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively abrupt landing.

Despite the hard touchdown, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a gentle wind of 8 knots from 267°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point.

The total landing distance was 2,305 feet, which is 81% of the available runway length. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and maneuverability to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing roll.

Overall, the landing was successful, with a high score and good alignment, but the hard touchdown and long touchdown point may indicate some room for improvement in terms of pilot technique and aircraft control.
