Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at SB08 Istanbul, a small airfield in Istanbul, Turkey. The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft accelerated down the 319-meter runway, covering 16% of its length, before lifting off into the air at a speed of 45 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 10 knots from a direction of 319 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it quickly gained altitude, rising from 408 feet above sea level to 720 feet in less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The enroute climb phase of the flight was brief, lasting only a short period of time before the aircraft leveled off and entered a cruise phase.

During the cruise phase, the aircraft flew at a steady altitude, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles in 10 minutes. This phase of the flight was characterized by a steady and stable flight path, with the aircraft maintaining its altitude and heading.

As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 17L at LTBA Istanbul Atatürk Airport. The approach was made from the north, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 159.0 degrees and an altitude of 336 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 7 knots from a direction of 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 6 knots.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 56 knots. The touchdown point was 265 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was a smooth -120 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also smooth and controlled.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 1 minute to cover a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight used 9 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 14 minutes, and the aircraft performed well throughout the flight, demonstrating its stability and control.

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed on runway 17L at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport, achieving an overall score of 82.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 159.0° at 1 nautical mile and 336 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, with the touchdown point located 265 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.

The touchdown speed of 56 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a more optimal landing. However, the touchdown rate of -120 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained control throughout the landing process. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions were relatively favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft despite the slight tailwind.

The total landing distance of 910 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the rollout process. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing process.
