The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport. The takeoff distance was 400 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 54 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 138 degrees.

The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead YLIL Lilydale Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 671 feet above sea level to 3,696 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,025 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Chirnside Park and lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The descent phase started overhead Carnegie and took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,569 feet above sea level to 1,501 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,067 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 13L at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 142.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,441 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 13L, which had a length of 1,040 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 46 knots was well below the target speed, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling.

The touchdown distance was good at 122 meters, and the touchdown speed of 39 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 114 degrees.

The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 211 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 13L at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 94.03 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at Melbourne Moorabbin Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 142.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,441 feet above ground level. The pilot executed a smooth final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 18 kt at 114°.

Upon landing, the pilot maintained a good threshold height and adhered to the recommended threshold speed of 46 kt, being mindful not to stall the aircraft. The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 122 meters, and the touchdown speed of 39 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also smooth, with a descent rate of -135 feet per minute.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 3.7 meters off the centerline. Despite this, the pilot maintained excellent control during the rollout, ensuring that the aircraft remained aligned with the runway. The total landing distance was 211 meters, which is only 20% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions, including a moderate headwind of 16 kt and a crosswind of 9 kt, did not appear to significantly impact the pilot's performance. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good airmanship and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
