Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.4 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.4 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 25 at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA). The takeoff distance was 299 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb began overhead Isla Vista, California, where the aircraft ascended from 1,061 feet above sea level to 3,337 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,276 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Goleta, California, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile north west of North Hills, California, where it descended from 3,847 feet above sea level to 1,656 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,192 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 08 at the Hollywood Burbank Airport (KBUR) was made from the west, heading 93.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 922 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 268 meters, which was well below the target.

Landing on runway 08 at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport in the Piper PA-24 Comanche
Landing Score 85.08 %
Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 93.0° at 3 nautical miles and 922 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, taking into account the runway length of 1,763 meters and the threshold height.

Upon reaching the threshold speed of 51 knots, the pilot was cautious to avoid stalling the aircraft, which is a critical aspect of safe landing procedures. The touchdown distance of 268 meters was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 38 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -237 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the pilot could have managed the descent more efficiently.

One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 12.8 meters. This could be attributed to the pilot's judgment of the wind conditions, as the local weather reported a 4-knot wind at 160°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind. Despite this, the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and executed a safe landing.

The total landing distance of 375 meters was within 21% of the runway length, which is a reasonable margin. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot could have maintained a more precise control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, and the pilot demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and the wind conditions.
