The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at WA01 Wirkkala Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 178.0° at an altitude of 324 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot executed a smooth landing, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 45 knots was below the target speed, indicating that the pilot was taking necessary precautions to avoid stalling the aircraft. This cautious approach paid off, as the touchdown distance of 47 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 44 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively hard, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully lined up the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot, and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 281 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's performance and the weather conditions.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the landing. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the maneuver.
