The flight in the Cessna C172 from EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport involved a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking only 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nm. Departure was initiated from runway 26, with a takeoff distance of 461m, covering 44% of the runway length. Liftoff speed was achieved at 71 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure showed a temperature of 16 °C with a light wind of 1 knot coming from 269° resulting in minimal crosswind.

The flight followed a left-hand pattern entry from runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, covering less than 1 nm in just 14 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind saw the aircraft covering the same distance in 26 seconds. The pattern downwind turn covered a distance of 1 nm, with an angle of 62.1° to the runway. The downwind leg extended to 2 nm and lasted 56 seconds. The base leg turn was executed over a distance of 1 nm with a 45° angle to the runway, followed by a quick final base leg maneuver in less than 1 nm and 27 seconds.

The final phase of the flight involved landing back on runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, with the runway measuring 1,035m in length. The approach began with a height of 65ft above ground level and a speed of 63 knots at the threshold. Touchdown occurred approximately 339m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 45 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -227 ft/min. Post-landing, the aircraft covered a total distance of 577m, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The prevailing weather conditions during landing showed a slight drop in temperature to 15 °C, with a similar 1 knot headwind.

Upon landing, the Cessna C172 taxied back to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in just 2 minutes. The entire flight distance, including takeoff, pattern maneuvers, and landing, summed up to 6 nm, taking a total of 11 minutes and consuming 3 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 90.79 %

Landing Summary

First off, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 90.8%! This is a great accomplishment and shows your skill and expertise as a pilot. Let's break down the different phases of the landing and see where there is room for improvement.

During the Approach Phase, the descent path was found to be above the glideslope limit and the speed was slightly below the target. To improve in this phase, focus on maintaining a steady descent path and ensuring that your speed stays consistent with the target. This will help you to set up for a smoother transition into the landing phase.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, it was noted that the threshold height was above the target and the landing flare was very poor. Improving on the flare will help you to achieve a softer touchdown and reduce the risk of a hard landing. Additionally, working on the threshold height will help you to establish a more precise approach to the runway.

In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was fair, and the speed was on target. However, the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone, which is a positive point. This shows good control over the aircraft during the critical moment of touchdown. Paying attention to maintaining a consistent touchdown rate and ensuring that the aircraft remains within the touchdown zone will further improve your performance in this phase.

Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off at 3.6 m from the centerline. Working on maintaining a straighter alignment during the rollout will help to improve the overall precision of the landing.

Overall, your performance during the landing was strong, with some areas that could benefit from refinement. By focusing on maintaining a steady descent path, improving the landing flare, fine-tuning the threshold height, and ensuring precise alignment during rollout, you will continue to enhance your skills as a pilot and achieve even higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in every aspect of your flying.
