Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 17R at Melbourne Moorabbin Airport. The takeoff distance was 227 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 60 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 165 degrees.
The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 493 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 1,327 feet above sea level, an increase of 834 feet in just 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This enroute climb phase took place overhead Parkdale, a location in the state of Victoria, Australia.
Following the climb phase, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting overhead Parkdale, and lasted for 8 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a final approach to runway 26 at Melbourne Essendon Airport, which was approached from the east at a heading of 255.0 degrees. At 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, the aircraft was at an altitude of 922 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 at Melbourne Essendon Airport was successful, with a runway length of 1,919 meters. The threshold height at 81 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 64 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 469 meters, and the touchdown speed was 45 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -123 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. Overall, the flight was successful, covering a total distance of 19 nautical miles in 11 minutes and using 7 kilograms of fuel.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne Essendon Airport (YMEN) on runway 26. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 255.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 922 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 77.4%.
The approach to the runway was executed with a threshold height of 81 feet agl, which was significantly above the target height. However, the threshold speed of 64 knots was only slightly above the target, indicating a well-controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 469 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 45 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The aircraft's descent rate during touchdown was smooth, with a rate of -123 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled descent, which is essential for a safe landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the tailwind component was only 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft performing well within the expected parameters.
Landed with a 15 kt crosswind, well done!
