The flight began with an enroute climb from Lydd London Ashford Airport, located on the Romney Marsh in Kent, England. The aircraft, a Cessna C182, took off from an elevation of 431 feet above sea level and climbed to 2,337 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly reach a safe cruising altitude.

Once at cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute level cruise, which lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 51 nautical miles. This leg of the flight was a steady and efficient cruise, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and make the most of its flight plan.

As the aircraft approached its destination, Brighton City Airport, it began its final approach to runway 02. The approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 38.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,774 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on the runway, which was 2,487 feet long, and had a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 72 knots.

The landing itself was good, with a touchdown distance of 1,108 feet and a touchdown speed of 54 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -178 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 59 feet from the centreline. This misalignment was also evident during the runway rollout, where the aircraft remained 59 feet off the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 15 knots from 220 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 14 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft landed safely and efficiently.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 59 nautical miles, and the flight used 49 pounds of fuel. The flight duration was 32 minutes, making it a quick and efficient journey.

Landing on runway 02 at EGKA Brighton City Airport in the Cessna C182

Landing Score 73.41 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at EGKA Brighton City Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 38.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,774 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 02, which has a length of 2,487 feet.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 72 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 1,108 feet was good, and the touchdown speed of 54 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 59 feet from the centreline. This suggests that the pilot may have been struggling to maintain a straight course during the final approach or landing phase. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 68°F and winds of 15 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 14 knots.

The total landing distance of 2,185 feet was 88% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This may indicate that the pilot was able to maintain a good rate of descent and touchdown speed, but struggled to control the aircraft's alignment during the landing phase. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 59 feet from the centreline, which is consistent with the touchdown position being off-centre.

Overall, while the Cessna C182 aircraft landed safely at EGKA Brighton City Airport, there are areas for improvement in terms of maintaining a straight course during the final approach and landing phase. The pilot may benefit from additional training or practice to improve their skills in this area.
