The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at Dundee Airport (EGPN). The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 64 knots in a relatively short distance of 137 meters, which accounted for just 10% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

After taking off, the pilot entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft in a circular path around the airport. The entry into the pattern was swift, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 30 seconds. As the pilot continued with the pattern, they encountered a crosswind of 0 knots, but a headwind of 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the flight.

The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern crosswind turn, which took approximately 114 seconds to complete. The subsequent downwind turn was executed at an angle of 77.6 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was relatively short, lasting just 56 seconds and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the pilot began the base leg turn, they executed a turn at an angle of 51.5 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was brief, lasting just 22 seconds and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn into the runway was completed in just 30 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach.

The pilot then initiated a final approach to runway 27, flying the aircraft at a heading of 271.0 degrees and an altitude of 119 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 1,390 meters. The pilot noted that the threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 42 knots was well below the target speed, requiring careful control to avoid stalling.

The touchdown distance was good, with the aircraft coming to rest just 72 meters down the runway. The touchdown speed of 38 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate was firm at -338 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft touching down 4.2 meters off the centerline.

The total landing distance was 168 meters, which accounted for just 12% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. After landing, the pilot taxied the aircraft to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in under 1 minute.

The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the flight.

Landing on runway 27 at EGPN Dundee Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 95.83 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Dundee Airport (EGPN) on runway 27, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 271.0° at 0 nm and 119 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was 42 kt, which was well below the target speed. This is a positive aspect of the landing, as it indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and avoid stalling. The touchdown distance of 72 m was also good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a safe landing position.

The touchdown speed of 38 kt was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -338 fpm was firm but not excessive. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline, which may require some attention from the pilot to improve their alignment skills.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal at 1 kt. These conditions made the landing relatively straightforward.

The total landing distance of 168 m was only 12% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position may require some attention and practice to improve.
