The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 08 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport. The takeoff distance was 229 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 74 knots, and the local weather conditions were quite cold, with a temperature of -28 °C. The wind was blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 356 °, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and no headwind.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Heikendorf, a location in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The climb began at an altitude of 988 feet above sea level and increased to 992 feet, a rise of just 4 feet, over a period of 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting overhead Heikendorf, and lasted for 17 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 08 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 82.0 ° at an altitude of 253 feet above ground level and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on the runway was successful, with a threshold height that was good, a threshold speed of 57 knots, and a touchdown distance of 112 meters. The touchdown speed was 49 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.2 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of -28 °C and a wind blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 347 °, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and no headwind. The total landing distance was 367 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.0 meters.

The final phase of the flight involved taxiing from the runway to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 26 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 08 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 95.13 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 82.0° at 0 nm and 253 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 1,035 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 57 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 112 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 49 knots was slightly lower than the expected speed, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm).

One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 8.2 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -28°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 347°, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind.

The total landing distance of 367 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
