Landing on runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 94.5 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 264.0° at an altitude of 265 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 62 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 260 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more controlled descent.

However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 5.5 meters off the centerline. This may have been due to the pilot's judgment of the wind conditions or the aircraft's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 292°.

The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 690 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot successfully transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more controlled descent and aligning the aircraft with the centerline during touchdown.
