The flight in question was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from 1,500 feet above sea level (asl) to 1,523 feet asl. This climb phase took place 7 miles south east of Sandwick, located in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. The aircraft managed to increase its altitude by 23 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the climb phase, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise, which began 7 miles east of EGPB Sumburgh Airport, also located in the Shetland Islands. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it was heading towards runway 27 at EGPB Sumburgh Airport from the east. At this point, the aircraft was 4 nautical miles away from the runway and at an altitude of 1,190 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's heading was 258.0 degrees, indicating a slight deviation from the runway's centerline.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 1,305 meters. The threshold height was reported to be good, but the threshold speed was too high at 74 knots. The touchdown point was 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a good 56 knots. However, the touchdown rate was only fair at -239 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 35.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 2 knots was present.
The total landing distance was 910 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway's length. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully landed at Sumburgh Airport, achieving an overall score of 82.3%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, with a heading of 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,190 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but with a threshold speed that was slightly too high at 74 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal speed during the approach. The touchdown point was located 66 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to improve their accuracy during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 56 knots was considered good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -239 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to improve their ability to control the aircraft's descent during the landing.
One of the notable issues with the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-center by 10.7 meters. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to improve their alignment during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 35.3 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. This suggests that the pilot had relatively favorable conditions for the landing. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining optimal speeds and aligning the aircraft with the runway during the approach and rollout.
