The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at L88 New Cuyama, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 412 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 59 knots, a smooth and efficient start to the flight.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, the weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 228 degrees. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the flight even smoother.

The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 28, navigating the aircraft through the required turns and legs. The pattern entry was swift, taking less than 1 nautical mile in 10 seconds. The downwind turn was completed in 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 64.6 degrees. The downwind leg itself took 76 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, the pilot executed a turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and angling in at 22.6 degrees to the runway. The base leg was then completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds.

The final approach to runway 28 was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 292.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 420 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 110 meters and a touchdown speed of 45 knots. However, the touchdown rate was a bit higher than ideal at -265 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 4.3 meters off the centerline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total landing distance was 643 meters, which is 54% of the runway length.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 7 nautical miles, taking 5 minutes to cover this distance. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, a relatively efficient performance for a Cessna C172.

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at L88 New Cuyama, achieving a score of 88.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 292.0° at 1 nm and 420 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 28, which has a length of 1,193 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed of 47 kt was well below the target speed, indicating a safe approach. However, pilots were advised to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was relatively low. The touchdown distance of 110 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 45 kt was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate of -265 fpm was fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 229°. There was no crosswind or headwind, making the landing conditions ideal. The total landing distance of 643 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
