This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from an altitude of 569 feet above sea level (asl) over Dortmund Airport in Dortmund, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft successfully climbed to 1,350 ft asl in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent demonstrates the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which began overhead Holzwickede, also located in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. During this 2-minute cruise, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This stable flight phase showcases the aircraft's ability to maintain a consistent speed and altitude.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 24 at Dortmund Airport, approaching from the north-east at a heading of 242.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 450 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 67 knots, indicating a safe and controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 265 meters and a touchdown speed of 51 knots, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also perfect at -32 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.6 meters.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the flight.
In terms of fuel consumption, the aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel to complete the 4-nautical-mile flight, which lasted 5 minutes. This fuel efficiency is consistent with the Cessna C172's reputation for being a fuel-efficient aircraft. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft performing well in various phases of flight.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDLW Dortmund Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with the heading of 242.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 450 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to runway 24 was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 12°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots blowing from the south (180°). This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 51 knots was well within the target range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was significantly reduced, with a touchdown rate of -32 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered perfect. The touchdown distance of 265 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing.
However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 7.6 meters off the centerline of the runway. This minor discrepancy may be attributed to the pilot's efforts to compensate for the crosswind and headwind conditions, or it could be a result of the aircraft's response to the wind.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, with the pilot successfully navigating the aircraft through the challenging weather conditions to achieve a safe and successful touchdown.
