The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at Dundee Airport (EGPN). The aircraft, a Cessna C172, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 55 kt, requiring a takeoff distance of 97 m, which was 7% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from a direction of 269 °.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it made a smooth entry from runway 27, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in just 61 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in an impressive 26 seconds, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control of the aircraft. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 71.5 ° to the runway, while the downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nm in 62 seconds.

The base leg turn was made at an angle of 158.0 ° to the runway, and the base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nm in just 23 seconds. The final turn was made in 32 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach to runway 27. The approach was made from the east, heading 271.0 °, at an altitude of 1 nm and 253 ft above ground level.

The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 51 kt and a touchdown distance of 340 m. The touchdown rate was good at -188 fpm, and the threshold speed was also good at 57 kt. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.8 m.

The total landing distance was 513 m, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.4 m. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 5 nm, and the flight used 4 kg of fuel, taking a total of 13 minutes to complete.

Landing Score 92.26 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Dundee Airport (EGPN) on runway 27, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 271.0° at 1 nautical mile and 253 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was also satisfactory at 57 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 340 meters was within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 51 knots was also well within the acceptable limits. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was good, suggesting a controlled and stable landing.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight overcorrection or undercorrection during the rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal at 1 knot. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions.
