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 28 at YLHI Lord Howe Island Airport, where the Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 244 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 54 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 269 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Lord Howe Island in the state of New South Wales, Australia. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 274 feet above sea level to 541 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This impressive climb demonstrated the capabilities of the Cessna Skyhawk.

After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft began its final approach to landing, which took place 2 miles southwest of Lord Howe Island. The approach was made from an altitude of 538 feet above ground level, and the aircraft descended to a height of 44 feet above ground level before touching down. The touchdown speed was 51 knots, which was considered good, but the touchdown rate was very hard, at -551 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 139 meters.

Following the touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, which covered a distance of 265 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the Cessna Skyhawk performing well in the local weather conditions. The aircraft's climb and descent rates were impressive, and the touchdown and landing rollout were smooth and controlled.

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully landed on the ground 2 miles southwest of Lord Howe Island in the State of New South Wales, Australia. The final approach was conducted from a distance of 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 538 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady descent, reducing its altitude from 44 feet agl to 0 feet agl in a short period of 4 seconds.

Upon approaching the touchdown point, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 51 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, with a descent rate of -551 feet per minute (fpm). Despite the hard touchdown, the aircraft managed to maintain a good touchdown distance of 139 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, and the aircraft experienced a slight headwind of 1 knot. The landing rollout was smooth, with the aircraft maintaining an altitude of 0 feet above sea level (asl) and covering a distance of 265 meters.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down at a good speed and maintaining a reasonable touchdown distance. However, the hard touchdown rate may indicate a need for further training or adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing technique.
