The flight in question was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from a point 15 miles east of EGPB Sumburgh Airport Lerwick, located in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. The aircraft began its ascent from an altitude of 3,516 feet above sea level, increasing to 2,757 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid climb demonstrated the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft initiated an enroute descent from a point 13 miles east of EGPB Sumburgh Airport Lerwick. The descent took place from an altitude of 2,639 feet above sea level, decreasing to 1,904 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This controlled descent showcased the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's altitude.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 11 miles east of EGPB Sumburgh Airport Lerwick and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This steady cruise phase allowed the aircraft to maintain a consistent speed and altitude, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's performance.

As the aircraft approached the final approach to runway 27 at EGPB Sumburgh Airport, it was flying at an altitude of 1,184 feet above ground level, heading 268.0 degrees, and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's speed and altitude were well within the target parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled approach.

Upon landing on runway 27, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 59 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 233 meters was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -64 feet per minute was excellent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 6 knots from 269 degrees, and a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance of 567 meters was 43% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centreline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 7 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 27 at EGPB Sumburgh Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 91.4 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EGPB Sumburgh Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 268.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,184 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 233 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 59 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -64 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing.

Despite the successful touchdown, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.2 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by a slight drift in the aircraft's direction during the rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with the alignment of the aircraft during the touchdown and rollout, which may require further attention and practice to improve the pilot's skills.
