Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, which took off from an altitude of 673 feet above sea level and climbed to a height of 62 feet above sea level. The climb was quite steep, with an increase of 611 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft's ascent was likely swift and efficient, given the short time frame and the significant altitude gain.
Upon reaching the destination, the pilot landed the aircraft on runway 01 at the Nanwalek Airport, which has a runway length of 576 meters. The threshold height was suitable for landing, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 83 knots. This may have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach and landing configuration.
The touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available length. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to touch down at a speed of 62 knots, which was slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown rate was good, with a descent rate of -154 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 22.4 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 114 degrees. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was a relatively minor 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to complete the flight safely, covering a total distance of 1 nautical mile in 7 minutes and using 3 kilograms of fuel.

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft has successfully landed on runway 01 at KEB Nanwalek Airport, but the landing performance was not ideal. The aircraft scored 61.3%, indicating room for improvement in various aspects of the landing.
One of the notable issues was the excessively high threshold speed of 83 kt, which is higher than the recommended speed for landing. This could be due to various factors such as the pilot's experience, aircraft performance, or weather conditions. The high threshold speed may have put additional stress on the aircraft's engines and landing gear, potentially affecting the overall safety and efficiency of the landing.
The touchdown point was also a concern, as it was located more than 50% of the available runway length from the threshold. This indicates that the aircraft had a long rollout, which could be a safety risk in case of an emergency or if the pilot needs to stop the aircraft quickly. The touchdown speed of 62 kt was also a bit fast, which may have contributed to the long rollout.
On the positive side, the touchdown rate was good at -154 fpm, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 22.4 m from the centreline, which could be a concern for future landings.
The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 11 kt at 114 °. The crosswind component was 11 kt, while the headwind component was only 1 kt. These conditions were not particularly challenging, but they may have still affected the aircraft's performance and the pilot's ability to control it during landing.
Overall, the landing performance of the Cessna Skyhawk at KEB Nanwalek Airport was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of threshold speed, touchdown point, and runway alignment. The pilot should focus on refining their skills and adjusting their technique to achieve a more efficient and safe landing.
Landed with a 11 kt crosswind, well done!
