Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, which took off from an unspecified location and headed towards Nanwalek Airport in Alaska, United States. The aircraft began its enroute level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude, starting overhead Nanwalek. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Upon approaching Nanwalek Airport, the aircraft landed on runway 01, which has a length of 576 meters. The threshold height was reported to be good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down safely. However, the threshold speed was higher than the target speed, coming in at 67 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 138 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 56 knots.
Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was reported to be heavy, with a rate of -644 feet per minute. This could be a concern for the aircraft's safety, as a heavy touchdown rate can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centreline, which could have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were reported to be mild, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 114 degrees. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was a relatively minor 1 knot. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's landing performance.
After touching down, the aircraft continued to roll out on the runway, with a total landing distance of 260 meters, which is approximately 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 11.9 meters from the centreline. Despite these minor issues, the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely.
It's worth noting that the total flight distance was a relatively short 1 nautical mile, and the flight duration was only 2 minutes. The aircraft used no fuel during this flight, indicating that it was likely a short, low-altitude flight.

The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed on runway 01 at KEB Nanwalek Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.4%. The aircraft's performance was evaluated based on several key parameters, including touchdown speed, touchdown distance, and runway touchdown position.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the threshold speed, which was significantly higher than the target speed at 67 kt. This indicates that the pilot may have been applying a bit too much power during the approach, resulting in a higher-than-ideal speed at the threshold. However, this did not seem to have a major impact on the overall landing performance.
The touchdown distance of 138 m was considered good, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude during the approach. The touchdown speed of 56 kt was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down.
However, the touchdown rate of -644 fpm was deemed heavy, indicating that the pilot may have applied too much braking or reverse thrust during the landing. This could potentially lead to a loss of control or a skid, especially on a shorter runway like the one at KEB Nanwalek Airport.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly off-center, with the aircraft touching down 12.1 m from the centerline. This could be due to a variety of factors, including wind drift or a slight misalignment of the aircraft during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 114 °. The crosswind component was 10 kt, while the headwind component was a relatively minor 1 kt. These conditions would not have significantly impacted the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 260 m was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-center, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 11.9 m. This could be due to a combination of factors, including the pilot's braking technique and the aircraft's response to the brakes.
Overall, while the Cessna Skyhawk's landing performance was not perfect, it was still considered satisfactory given the conditions. The pilot demonstrated good control and a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude during the approach, but could benefit from further practice and refinement of their landing technique to achieve a higher score.
Landed with a 10 kt crosswind, well done!
