Landing on runway 08 at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 98.04 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 77.0° at 0 nm and 71 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, ensuring a smooth and stable descent.

Upon landing on runway 08, which has a length of 1,216 m, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, avoiding any potential issues with clearance. The threshold speed of 47 kt was well below the target, indicating that the pilot was cautious to avoid stalling the aircraft. This is a critical aspect of safe landing procedures, as stalling can lead to loss of control and potentially catastrophic consequences.

The touchdown distance of 144 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 37 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate of -308 fpm was firm, but not excessively high, indicating that the pilot had maintained control throughout the landing process. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind component was 2 kt, which is relatively minor. These conditions would not have presented any significant challenges for the pilot.

The total landing distance of 225 m was only 18% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had maintained a high degree of control and precision throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase.

Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport was a textbook example of safe and controlled flight. The pilot's attention to detail, precision, and caution ensured a smooth and successful landing, earning a score of 98.0%.
