The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at YMEN Melbourne Essendon Airport. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 58 kt, covering a distance of 110 m, which was 6% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 19 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 187 °, resulting in a headwind of 1 kt and a crosswind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 2,802 ft asl, an increase of 1,906 ft from the initial altitude of 896 ft asl, in just 4 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 6 nm and took the aircraft over the suburb of Airport West in the state of Victoria, Australia. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nm. This phase began 1 mile west of the suburb of Bellfield.
The enroute descent phase started overhead the suburb of Wandin North, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,541 ft asl to 724 ft asl, a decrease of 2,817 ft, in just 3 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 5 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport, flying from the south at a heading of 21.0 ° and at an altitude of 470 ft agl, 1 nm from the runway.
The landing on runway 36L was successful, with a touchdown speed of 45 kt and a touchdown distance of 247 m, which was 51% of the runway length. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 99.6 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 187 °, resulting in a tailwind of 3 kt and a crosswind of 0 kt.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 32 nm, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 11 kg of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at YLIL Lilydale Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 21.0° at 1 nm and 470 ft above ground level (agl), which indicates a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft touched down on runway 36L, which has a length of 1,324 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 58 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 247 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 45 kt was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -227 fpm was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
One of the notable issues with this landing was the runway touchdown position, which was excessively misaligned by 99.6 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have been slightly off course during the final approach or may have had difficulty aligning the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind of 3 kt at 187°, were relatively calm, which should have made the landing easier.
The total landing distance of 680 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 116.9 meters from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining alignment with the runway and controlling the touchdown rate. With some practice and attention to these areas, the pilot should be able to achieve a more consistent and controlled landing.
