The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 26 at YMEN Melbourne Essendon Airport. The takeoff distance was 342 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 63 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 249 degrees.
The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Keilor East in the state of Victoria, Australia. The climb involved an increase in altitude from 1,114 feet above sea level to 2,555 feet above sea level, a rise of 1,441 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Moonee Ponds in the state of Victoria, Australia. This phase of the flight lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 13L at YMMB Melbourne Moorabbin Airport, approaching from the north-west at a heading of 142.0 degrees, 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 984 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 307 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 49 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -77 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.0 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90 degrees.
The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.2 meters. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at Melbourne Moorabbin Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 142.0° at 1 nautical mile and 984 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, resulting in a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 62 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a touchdown speed of 49 knots and a touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 307 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 90°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 3 knots each, which contributed to the smooth landing. The total landing distance of 565 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping power to come to a safe stop within the available runway.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 8.2 meters from the centreline. This minor misalignment may have been due to the pilot's continued correction of the initial touchdown position deviation. Overall, the landing was considered good, with the pilot demonstrating solid control and adherence to standard procedures.
