Landing Score 84.49 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 20 at EGCB City Airport Manchester, achieving a score of 84.5%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 234.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,099 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft demonstrated good control during the approach, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. The threshold speed of 60 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good touchdown distance of 49 meters, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also within the desired parameters.

The touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 142°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.

The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. As a result, the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. The total landing distance of 273 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway length of 462 meters.
