The flight began with a departure roll from runway 01 at GCFV Fuerteventura Airport. The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 64 kt and covering a takeoff distance of 406 m, which was 21% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead GCFV Fuerteventura Airport El Matorral. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,088 ft asl to a maximum altitude of 3,604 ft asl, covering a distance of 5 nm and increasing its altitude by 2,516 ft in just 3 minutes. This rapid climb was a testament to the aircraft's performance capabilities.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft began its descent, which started 3 miles north east of Puerto del Rosario. The descent from 3,542 ft asl to 2,125 ft asl, a decrease of 1,416 ft in 3 minutes, covered a distance of 6 nm. This controlled descent was a crucial phase of the flight, requiring precise navigation and control to ensure a safe and stable approach.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 7 miles south east of Corralejo and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nm. This cruise phase allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and airspeed, conserving fuel and minimizing the risk of fatigue.

As the aircraft approached its destination, GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, it began its final approach to runway 03 from the south west. The aircraft was heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nm from the runway threshold, with an altitude of 919 ft agl. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

The landing on runway 03 was notable for its touchdown distance, which was 343 m, or 30% of the runway length. The touchdown speed of 54 kt was good, but the touchdown rate was very hard at -575 fpm. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 8.7 m from the centreline. The aircraft's rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 m from the centreline.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 33 nm, and the flight duration was 30 minutes. The aircraft used 10 kg of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 03 at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 76.78 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at GCRR César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 26.0° at 4 nautical miles and 919 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 2,395 meters.

The threshold height at 135 feet agl was significantly higher than the target, indicating that the aircraft descended too slowly or too late. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 55 knots, which is a relatively safe margin. The touchdown distance of 343 meters was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 54 knots was also good.

Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was very hard at -575 feet per minute (fpm), which may have been due to the aircraft's high rate of descent or the pilot's failure to arrest the descent in time. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position.

The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, and there was no headwind. The total landing distance of 718 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the landing or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters that the pilot should address to improve their performance.
