Landing on runway 10 at LENA Benabarre Airfield in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 94.79 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LENA Benabarre Airfield, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 104.0° at an altitude of 257 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 813 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 53 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -259 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.

Despite the slightly below-target threshold speed and fair touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating precise control and coordination between the pilot and the aircraft. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 300°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's ground speed but did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,718 feet was 65% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the landing conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
