The Cessna 172 taxied to runway 06 at EGXG Leeds East Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 262 m, which represents 14 % of the runway length. Liftoff occurred at 63 kt under local conditions of 14 °C, a wind of 15 kt from 031°, a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 14 kt head-wind component.

Climbing from an initial altitude of 1,334 ft asl, the aircraft ascended to 5,402 ft asl, gaining 4,068 ft in 5 minutes while covering 8 nm. The climb was initiated overhead EGCM Leeds East Airport Church Fenton (North Yorkshire, England).

Cruise flight was conducted in two segments. The first level cruise began 1 mile south-west of Tadcaster and lasted 6 minutes, during which 11 nm were flown. A second level cruise started 1 mile west of Aberford, lasting 2 minutes and covering an additional 2 nm.

Descent was also performed in two stages. The initial descent began 1 mile east of Chapel Allerton, reducing altitude from 5,500 ft asl to 3,933 ft asl-a loss of 1,567 ft in 3 minutes over 5 nm. A subsequent descent started 1 mile east of Aberford, dropping from 3,623 ft asl to 1,302 ft asl, a decrease of 2,320 ft in 6 minutes while covering 7 nm.

The final approach to runway 10 at EGID Cliffe Airstrip was executed from the west on a heading of 102.0°, with the aircraft positioned 4 nm out and at 1,276 ft agl. Local weather at the time was 15 °C, a wind of 15 kt from 031°, a 14 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.

Landing was made on runway 10, whose length is 598 m; the threshold height of 56 ft agl was slightly above the target and the threshold speed of 73 kt was higher than expected. Touchdown occurred with a speed of 70 kt, a firm rate of -376 fpm, and a point more than 50 % down the runway, using a total landing distance of 507 m (85 % of the runway). The touchdown point was offset 6.5 m from the centreline.

Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, and the aircraft came to a stop within the remaining runway length.

In total the flight covered 39 nm, required 26 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 8 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 10 at EGID Cliffe Airstrip in the Cessna 172

Landing Score 80.7 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 10 at EGID Cliffe Airstrip was conducted from the west on a heading of 102.0° at 4 nm and 1,276 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 15 kt from 31°, a 14 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft crossed the threshold at a height of 56 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was recorded as 73 kt, noted as too high.

Touchdown occurred well beyond the intended aim point, using more than 50 % of the available 598 m runway. The touchdown speed was 70 kt, described as too fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 376 fpm. The wheel track was slightly misaligned by 6.5 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 507 m, representing 85 % of the runway.

Rollout alignment was reported as very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline through the remainder of the runway.

The 80.7 % score indicates solid performance; reducing the approach and threshold speeds to meet target values will help shorten the touchdown point and lower the touchdown speed, allowing a more efficient use of runway length. Adjusting flare timing to achieve a softer touchdown will also improve alignment and reduce the firm rate observed.
