The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22 at YLEG Leongatha Airport, a small airfield in the state of Victoria, Australia. The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the runway, lifting off at a speed of 55 knots. The takeoff distance was 132 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered a local weather pattern with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The pilot began the enroute climb 1 mile southwest of the airport, ascending from an altitude of 1,213 feet above sea level to 2,562 feet above sea level. This climb of 1,349 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight started 3 miles southwest of Korumburra, a nearby town in Victoria. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 2,562 feet above sea level for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The pilot then initiated the enroute descent phase, starting overhead the town of Waterways. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,595 feet above sea level to 1,157 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,438 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase was resumed overhead the town of Heatherton, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 35L at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 355.0 degrees at an altitude of 205 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 46 knots and a distance of 233 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -108 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 9.0 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 166 degrees.
The total landing distance was 579 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 9.1 meters. The pilot taxied the aircraft to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 51 nautical miles, taking 27 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 15 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne Moorabbin Airport (YMMB) on runway 35L, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 355.0° at 0 nm and 205 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was also satisfactory at 62 kt, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 233 m was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 46 kt was well below the recommended maximum speed. The touchdown rate of -108 fpm was also smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled impact with the runway.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control during the final stages of the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline, which may have been caused by the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind speed of 14 kt at 166°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the tailwind component was 14 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe and successful landing.
Overall, the landing was considered good, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control. However, there were some minor issues with alignment that may have been caused by a combination of factors, including the pilot's experience and the aircraft's handling characteristics.
