The flight began with an enroute climb from Niš Constantine the Great Airport in Central Serbia, where the aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, took off and climbed to an altitude of 7,341 feet above sea level. This climb phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 4,745 feet.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, which started 10 miles southwest of Knjazevac in Central Serbia. This phase lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Giurgita in Romania, and descended from 7,399 feet to 2,397 feet above sea level in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Bratovoesti in Romania and lasting for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 2 miles south of Bals in Romania, and the aircraft descended from 2,289 feet to 1,539 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27 at Craiova International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 266.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 921 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which has a length of 2,485 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 75 knots.

The touchdown point was 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 63 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, with no crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.

Takeoff on runway at in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing on runway 27 at LRCV Craiova International Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 83.1 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LRCV Craiova International Airport, but the pilot's performance was not perfect, scoring 83.1%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 921 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the pilot encountered some issues. The threshold height at 73 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have descended too slowly or too late. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 75 knots, which could have resulted in a longer landing distance. The touchdown point was 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation.

The touchdown speed of 63 knots was a little fast, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot managed to control the descent effectively. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the wind direction.

The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots, which may have helped to slow down the aircraft's approach speed. The total landing distance was 917 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's weight and the runway length.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's speed and direction effectively after touchdown. Overall, while the pilot's performance was not perfect, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
