The flight began with an enroute climb from Javea, Spain, where the aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, started ascending from an altitude of 1,485 feet above sea level. However, the climb was brief and only resulted in a negligible increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching the same altitude of 1,485 feet after just one minute. The climb covered a short distance of less than one nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting from Javea. This phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 42 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from a location one mile south of Alicante, Spain. The climb was more substantial, with the aircraft ascending from 1,043 feet to 1,687 feet above sea level, an increase of 644 feet, in just two minutes. The climb covered a distance of three nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting from a location two miles west of Alicante. This phase was brief, lasting only four minutes and covering a distance of five nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10 at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 97.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,090 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 10 was notable for several factors. The threshold speed was too high at 75 knots, and the touchdown point was 638 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed of 48 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -118 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.0 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,823 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 149.2 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking two minutes and covering a distance of less than one nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 52 nautical miles and used 28 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 34 minutes, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully landed at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach to runway 10 from the west was executed at a heading of 97.0°, 2 nautical miles away, and at an altitude of 1,090 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but with a threshold speed that was too high at 75 knots, indicating a slight over-rotation or a need for more precise control during the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 48 knots, which is considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -118 feet per minute (fpm). However, the touchdown point was 638 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. This could be attributed to the aircraft's excessive speed at touchdown or a slight miscalculation of the landing distance.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.0 meters from the centerline, which could pose a challenge for the aircraft's rollout and potentially lead to a loss of directional control. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°, and a crosswind of 0 knots. The tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's over-run.
The total landing distance was 1,823 meters, which accounts for 61% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been traveling at a higher speed than necessary or that the pilot may have been more cautious during the landing phase. The runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 149.2 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to the initial misalignment during touchdown.
Overall, while the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully landed at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of speed control, touchdown point accuracy, and runway alignment.
