The flight in the Li-2 Aeroflot USSR-69318 began with a 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LRSM Satu Mare, covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll on runway 01 was relatively short at 659 m, which equated to 26% of the total runway length. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 81 knots under local weather conditions of 12 °C temperature, with no wind affecting takeoff performance.
Once airborne, the enroute climb commenced 1 mile north of LRSM Satu Mare, ascending from 1,416 ft asl to 3,199 ft asl in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nm. The climb phase was relatively short but efficient in gaining altitude quickly.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase 1 mile northwest of Viile Satu Mare, which lasted 17 minutes and covered a distance of 46 nm. The cruising phase allowed for stable flight conditions as the aircraft traversed the planned route.
The flight concluded with a landing on runway 26 at LRCL Cluj Napoca, with a runway length of 1,849 m. The landing approach had a height of 34 ft agl at the threshold, with the touchdown occurring 407 m from the threshold. The touchdown speed was 68 knots, with a descent rate of -174 ft/min. The landing was executed under a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,027 m, which accounted for 56% of the runway length at LRCL Cluj Napoca. Following the landing, a brief 1-minute taxi was conducted from the runway to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 71 nm, lasting 48 minutes and consuming 132 kg of fuel. The flight operations from taxi to takeoff, enroute climb and cruise, landing, and taxiing post-landing were executed efficiently, demonstrating smooth flight operations in the Li-2 Aeroflot USSR-69318.

First and foremost, I want to congratulate the pilot on achieving an overall aircraft landing score of 94.3%. This is a commendable achievement and shows a high level of skill and competence.
Let's break down the different phases of the landing to provide a more detailed analysis.
Approach Phase: While the descent path was above the glideslope limit, indicating a slight lack of precision, the speed being excessively high is a concern as it could potentially affect the overall control and stability of the aircraft. It is important to ensure that the aircraft is maintaining the correct descent path and speed to ensure a safe landing.
Landing Phase: It is good to note that the threshold height and landing flare were performed perfectly, demonstrating proficiency in these aspects of the landing. However, the speed being excessively high during the touchdown phase is a point of improvement. While the touchdown rate was good, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 6.8 m from the centerline could have been more precise.
Touchdown Phase: The touchdown rate was good, indicating a smooth landing. However, the speed being excessively high can potentially lead to safety issues, so it is vital to ensure that the aircraft is at the correct speed for a safe landing. Additionally, landing with a 7 kn tailwind is risky and should be avoided in future landings.
Rollout Phase: The runway alignment being 8.1 m from the centerline is another area for improvement. It is crucial to ensure that the aircraft maintains proper alignment with the runway during rollout for a safe and smooth landing.
In conclusion, while the overall aircraft landing score was high, there are specific areas that require attention and improvement. Maintaining the correct descent path, speed, touchdown distance, alignment, and avoiding tailwinds are crucial for safe and successful landings. Continued practice and attention to detail will help further improve the pilot's landing performance. Keep up the good work and strive for excellence in all phases of the landing process.
