Landing on runway 22 at KCDW Essex County Airport in the Cessna C182

Landing Score 98.05 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22 at KCDW Essex County Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 217.0° at 1 nm and 391 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and level approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 68 kt, which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 169 m was well within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.

The touchdown speed of 62 kt was a little fast, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to touch down slightly ahead of the optimal point. However, the smooth touchdown rate of -128 fpm suggests that the pilot was able to absorb the impact of the landing, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a precise and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 220°, were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 346 m was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and landing.
