Landing on runway 25 at FMAD Ambodiatafa Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 81.38 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at FMAD Ambodiatafa Airport, with a score of 81.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 235.0° at 0 nm and 289 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for runway 25, which has a length of 2,948 ft.

Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be well above the target, indicating a good margin of safety. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 64 kn, which may require some adjustments in the approach configuration. The touchdown distance of 1,272 ft was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 46 kn was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 fpm, indicating a controlled descent.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 20 ft from the centreline. This may be due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor issue with the aircraft's alignment during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 0 kn at 67°.

The total landing distance of 2,011 ft was 68% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor areas for improvement that can be addressed in future approaches.
