The flight in question was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, departing from runway 25 at F62 Hayfork. The takeoff distance required was 45 meters, which accounted for only 4% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 53 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 7 knots, with no crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 25, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 37 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn from the same runway also showed impressive agility, completing the maneuver in under 1 nautical mile in 28 seconds. The downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, was executed with precision, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The downwind leg of the pattern was also notable for its speed, with the aircraft covering 1 nautical mile in 96 seconds. As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 25, it was flying at an altitude of 276 feet above ground level (agl) and heading 249 degrees. The approach was made from the east, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a touchdown distance of 449 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 46 knots.

However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than desired at -282 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4 meters. The total landing distance was 544 meters, accounting for 44% of the runway length. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used only 1 kilogram of fuel during the entire flight.

Landing on runway 25 at F62 Hayfork in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 80.4 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at F62 Hayfork, achieving an overall score of 80.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 249.0° at an altitude of 276 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot successfully landed on runway 25, which has a length of 1,248 meters.

The threshold height at 77 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed of 71 knots was also above the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed than necessary during the approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 449 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 46 knots was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired. However, this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 270°. This resulted in a headwind of 7 knots, with no crosswind component. The total landing distance of 544 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and align it with the centerline of the runway. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
