The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at YWLA Willowra Airport. The Cessna C172 aircraft required a takeoff distance of 320 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 64 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots each.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 30, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, requiring 45 seconds to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 72.0 degrees. The downwind leg itself took 79 seconds to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The base leg turn was another 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 32.7 degrees. The base leg itself was completed in 22 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn was the shortest, requiring 18 seconds to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 30 was made from the southeast, with a heading of 304.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 457 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 210 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 66 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute was good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters. The local weather conditions remained the same as during departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 228 degrees.

The total landing distance was 537 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 30 at YWLA Willowra Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 94.56 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at YWLA Willowra Airport, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 304.0° at 1 nm and 457 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 30, which has a length of 1,202 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was too high at 75 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 210 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing.

The touchdown speed of 66 kt was reported as fast, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to touch down at a higher speed than necessary. The touchdown rate of -166 fpm was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 kt from 228°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 kt, making the landing conditions ideal. The total landing distance of 537 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase and had aligned the aircraft with the centerline of the runway. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score and demonstrating good control over the aircraft throughout the landing process.
