Landing on runway 19 at KMTC Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport in the PA28 Warrior II

Landing Score 90.88 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at KMTC Selfridge Air National Guard Base Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 181.0° at 1 nm and 320 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 19, which has a length of 9,000 ft.

Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 74 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown point was 855 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway length.

The touchdown speed of 54 kt was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown speed effectively. The touchdown rate of -162 fpm was also good, suggesting that the pilot was able to absorb the impact of the touchdown smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline effectively.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 °F and a wind of 4 kt at 180°. The crosswind was negligible at 0 kt, while the headwind was 4 kt, which may have contributed to the aircraft's higher threshold speed. The total landing distance was 2,744 ft, which is 30% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively.

The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and technique throughout the approach and landing phases.
