The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at the George F. L. Charles Airport, also known as TLPC. The aircraft, a PA28 Archer II, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 68 knots. The takeoff distance was 1,034 feet, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Castries, Saint Lucia. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 688 feet above sea level to 2,126 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's performance capabilities.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it flew at a steady altitude and speed for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place overhead Anse La Raye, Saint Lucia.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 10 at the Hewanorra International Airport, also known as TLPL. The approach was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 81.0 degrees and an altitude of 626 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.
The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 61 knots and a rate of -137 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 468 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 57 feet from the centreline.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating that it was operating at a very efficient level.

The PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed at TLPL Hewanorra International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 81.0° at 2 nautical miles and 626 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 8,481 feet.
However, the threshold height at 85 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than expected when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 79 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling faster than necessary when reaching the threshold. These deviations may have contributed to the subsequent landing performance.
The touchdown point was 468 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing position. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 61 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been traveling too quickly when touching down. On the positive side, the touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,454 feet, which is 29% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it may have been influenced by the aircraft's speed and the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 57 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, while the PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed at TLPL Hewanorra International Airport, there were several areas for improvement in terms of approach and landing performance. The deviations from the ideal parameters may have been due to a combination of factors including pilot error, aircraft performance, and weather conditions.
