This flight was conducted in a PA38 Tomahawk aircraft, which took off from the LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport in St. Gallen, Switzerland. The climb began overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 1,333 feet above sea level to 1,626 feet above sea level. This increase in altitude of 293 feet was achieved in just one minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it began its final descent from an altitude of 311 feet above ground level, heading towards runway 28 from the east at a bearing of 279.0 degrees. The aircraft was approximately one nautical mile away from the runway at this point.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, which was 1,322 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 69 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 313 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 50 knots was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown rate was perfect, at -32 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was also 2 knots. The total landing distance was 821 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately three minutes to cover a distance of less than one nautical mile. The total flight distance was just one nautical mile, and the flight duration was two minutes. The aircraft used a total of 43 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, achieving a score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 279.0° at 1 nautical mile and 311 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe and controlled touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 69 kt, indicating that the pilot may have been a bit aggressive during the approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 313 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 50 kt, which was slightly faster than the ideal speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -32 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's descent was well-controlled and smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 3 kt from 225°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 kt each, which further contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 821 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and controlled stop at the end of the runway.
Overall, the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft demonstrated excellent handling and control during the landing, with the pilot executing a smooth and controlled touchdown. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters, the overall performance was impressive, and the aircraft was safely brought to a stop at the end of the runway.
