Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 26 from the east, heading 262.0° at 1 nm and 349 ft above ground level (agl), showcased the pilot's ability to navigate and control the aircraft in a precise manner.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 58 kt, which is considered good for a threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 130 m was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown speed of 51 kt was also satisfactory, further demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during landing.

However, the touchdown rate of -291 fpm was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent to reduce the impact on the aircraft. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 81°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal, which contributed to a smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 352 m, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in navigating and controlling the Cessna C172 aircraft. With a score of 94.7%, the pilot has demonstrated a high level of skill and expertise in landing the aircraft safely and efficiently.
