The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, required a takeoff distance of 478 feet, which was 8% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 70 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 5 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 07, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 25 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, taking 44 seconds to cover the same distance of 1 nautical mile. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 48.0 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 4 nautical miles long and took 177 seconds to complete.

Following the downwind leg, the pilot turned onto the base leg, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 38.5 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 37 seconds to complete. The final turn onto the final approach was also less than 1 nautical mile long and took 45 seconds.

The final approach to runway 07 was made from the west at a heading of 89.0 degrees, with the aircraft at 1 nautical mile and 295 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 61 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -89 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 1,870 feet, which was 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the pilot taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 1 minute.

The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight took 10 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 5 pounds of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills.

Landing Summary

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 07 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 89.0° at 1 nautical mile and 295 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and level attitude during the approach. The threshold speed of 67 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot managed the aircraft's speed effectively during the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,059 feet was also good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.

However, the touchdown speed of 61 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -89 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a precise and aligned approach to the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 5 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,870 feet was 31% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned attitude during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the PA28 Warrior II aircraft landed safely and efficiently at KSBA Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%.
