Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 32 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 6.6°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Add power on final to cross the threshold at 65 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 16 kt below the 65 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 1.8° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 65 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 departed EDSH Backnang-Heiningen Airfield from runway 28. The aircraft used 314 m of runway, representing 63 % of the available length, and became airborne at a liftoff speed of 56 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 17 kt from 326°, giving a crosswind component of 11 kt and a headwind component of 12 kt.

During the approach the pilot entered a left-hand pattern from runway 28, covering less than 1 nm in 39 seconds for the entry and less than 1 nm in 18 seconds on the crosswind leg. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 71.6°, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 52 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 1 nm with a 3.3° angle to the runway. The final approach was established from the east on a heading of 267.0°, at 1 nm and 581 ft AGL, maintaining the same wind conditions as reported for departure.

Landing was executed on runway 28, whose total length is 499 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 49 kt. Touchdown occurred 59 m down the runway at 44 kt with a vertical speed of minus 234 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the runway centreline. The total landing distance measured 171 m, equivalent to 34 % of the runway length.

Rollout was completed with very good alignment, and the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.

In total the flight covered 4 nm, required 5 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 was flown from the north-east on a heading of 222.0° at 0 nm and 162 ft AGL, with a temperature of 31 °C, wind 5 kt from 203°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind component.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 63 kt.

Touchdown occurred 158 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt, with an excellent touchdown rate of minus 58 fpm and very good runway touchdown alignment.

The rollout was very good in alignment, covering a total landing distance of 555 m, which is 35 % of the 1,580 m runway.

With a final score of 98.7 %, the performance was strong; a minor refinement is to keep the touchdown point consistently near the aim point to preserve the low runway usage, and to verify flare height to maintain the excellent rate of descent.
