Top opportunity

Improve the takeoff

Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30L at KIWA Phoenix–Mesa Gateway Airport. The aircraft, an Aermacchi MB-339A, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 135 kt, covering a distance of 2,147 ft, which was 21% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 110 °F, with a wind speed of 2 kt at 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of KIWA Phoenix–Mesa Gateway Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 2,337 ft above sea level to 4,429 ft above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 9 nm, as the aircraft flew 3 miles northeast of Apache Junction.

The enroute descent phase began 11 miles north of Gold Canyon, where the aircraft descended from 4,103 ft above sea level to 2,054 ft above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nm. This was followed by another climb, which started 7 miles west of the Yavapai Regional Medical Center East Heliport in Prescott Valley. The aircraft climbed from 2,084 ft above sea level to 6,982 ft above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nm.

The final descent phase began 4 miles northeast of Apache Junction, where the aircraft descended from 6,986 ft above sea level to 1,932 ft above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30L at KIWA Phoenix–Mesa Gateway Airport, flying from the southeast at a heading of 315.0 °, 1 nm from the airport and at an altitude of 575 ft above ground level.

The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down 1,060 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 104 kt. The touchdown rate was perfect at -41 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 106 °F, with a wind speed of 2 kt at 263 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

The total landing distance was 5,004 ft, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 63 nm, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used -2 lbs of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Aermacchi MB-339A aircraft successfully landed at KIWA Phoenix–Mesa Gateway Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing technique. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 315.0° at 1 nautical mile and 575 feet above ground level (agl), before touching down on runway 30L.

The pilot's final approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed descent and alignment with the runway. The threshold speed of 123 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the critical phases of flight. Upon touchdown, the aircraft came to rest at 1,060 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 104 knots, which was also within the acceptable range.

The touchdown rate of -41 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 106°F and a wind of 2 knots at 263°, presented a challenging environment for the landing. However, the pilot successfully managed the crosswind and headwind components, which were both 1 knot, to achieve a stable and controlled touchdown.

The total landing distance of 5,004 feet was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and executed landing, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable stop at the end of the runway. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in managing the aircraft's performance during the critical phases of flight.
