The flight took place at KMTP Montauk Airport, where a Cessna C172 aircraft was used for the operation. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll from runway 06 began shortly after, with a takeoff distance of 308 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 59 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 218 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft through a left-hand pattern entry from runway 06, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 46 seconds.

As the aircraft continued through the pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 06, which it navigated in 24 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 43.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 93 seconds to complete.

The pilot then initiated the base leg turn, which was also at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 22 seconds to complete. The final turn was executed in just 7 seconds, bringing the aircraft into position for the final approach.

The final approach to runway 06 was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 39.0 degrees and at an altitude of 577 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 130 meters and a touchdown speed of 53 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -130 feet per minute.

However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 8.0 meters. The total landing distance was 508 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 8.0 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the flight was considered successful, with a total flight distance of 5 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 2 kilograms. The entire flight took approximately 8 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 06 at KMTP Montauk Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 93.83 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KMTP Montauk Airport, achieving a score of 93.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 39.0° at 1 nautical mile and 577 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 06.

The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 62 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 130 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 53 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and avoided any sudden or hard landings. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 218°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were likely to have had a minimal impact on the landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were likely the primary factors in the successful outcome.

The total landing distance of 508 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and maintain control throughout the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor issue with the pilot's alignment or a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
