The flight began with the Honda HA420 aircraft departing from runway 28 at Zürich Airport (LSZH). The takeoff distance was 1,082 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 128 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Rumlang, a location in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,408 feet above sea level to 13,992 feet above sea level, a total increase of 11,584 feet, in just 7 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Melchnau, a location in the Canton de Berne region of Switzerland. This cruise phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 50 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent 1 mile northwest of Siviriez, a location in the Canton de Fribourg region of Switzerland. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 13,928 feet above sea level to 2,645 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 11,283 feet, in 8 minutes. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 35 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 22 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 225.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which had a length of 3,570 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 109 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 402 meters, but the touchdown speed of 103 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was perfect at -46 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.8 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,273 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 14.8 meters.

In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 123 nautical miles, which was achieved in 28 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -13 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 22 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport in the Honda HA420

Landing Score 94.62 %

Landing Summary

The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 103 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 402 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -46 feet per minute was perfect, demonstrating a well-executed landing.

The landing was performed in good weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.8 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centreline, indicating a possible issue with the aircraft's directional control during the landing roll.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a total landing distance of 1,273 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The pilot's performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft's systems functioned as expected. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more accurate approach path and directional control during the landing roll.
