Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, taking off from a location 2 miles southwest of Lord Howe Island in the State of New South Wales, Australia. The initial climb began at an altitude of 315 feet above sea level (asl) and reached a maximum altitude of 647 ft asl, resulting in an increase of 332 ft in just 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile during this climb phase.
As the aircraft approached the Lord Howe Island Airport, it began its final approach from a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft maintained a consistent altitude of 644 ft above ground level (agl) throughout this phase. The approach was followed by a descent from 44 ft agl to 0 ft agl, a decrease of 44 ft in just 3 seconds. This rapid descent was likely a result of the aircraft's high rate of descent, which was measured at -742 feet per minute (fpm).
The touchdown at Lord Howe Island Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 52 knots. The touchdown rate was considered heavy, but the touchdown distance was good at 102 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 °, and a crosswind of 0 knots. The aircraft experienced a tailwind of 1 knot during the approach.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, covering a distance of 77 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, completing the journey in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at Lord Howe Island Airport, achieving a score of 81.9%. The aircraft began its final approach from 1 nautical mile away, descending from an altitude of 644 feet above ground level (agl) to 1 nautical mile away from the airport. The pilot maintained a steady descent, eventually approaching the runway for touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down, it was traveling at a speed of 52 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, with a descent rate of -742 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of force, which may have caused some stress on the landing gear and potentially affected the overall safety of the landing.
Despite the heavy touchdown rate, the aircraft was able to maintain control and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown distance was 102 meters, which is considered good. Following touchdown, the aircraft began its rollout, covering a distance of 77 meters before coming to a complete stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate. However, the pilot was able to compensate for these conditions and still achieve a safe and successful landing.
