The Cessna C172 took off from runway 10 at KBID Block Island State Airport, managing to depart within 48% of the runway's takeoff distance of 360 meters. The liftoff speed of 64 knots was achieved as the plane lifted off the ground. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 235 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while there was a 4-knot tailwind.

As the plane proceeded to follow a standard left-hand traffic pattern around the airfield, it entered the pattern from runway 10, covering the first portion of the left-hand pattern in approximately 45 seconds and a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Subsequently, when it encountered a left-hand crosswind from runway 10, the plane continued to handle the wind smoothly, taking almost 25 seconds to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Following the crosswind turn, the plane proceeded to the downwind leg of the traffic pattern, covering 2 nautical miles in approximately 86 seconds before executing a turn onto the base leg. The base leg turn was completed in 2 nautical miles, with the plane maintaining an angle of approximately 34.8 degrees to the runway, in line with standard procedure. On the base leg itself, the plane covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in about 29 seconds.

Once on the final approach, the plane headed towards runway 10 from the west, aligning itself with the runway at an altitude of approximately 352 feet. At this point, the local weather conditions had changed slightly, now with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 7 knots from a direction of 254 degrees. There was still a relatively minor crosswind component of 1 knot but a significant 7-knot tailwind.

The plane landed safely on runway 10, touching down at a speed of 49 knots. The touchdown distance of 169 meters was well within the limits of the runway's length, which was 745 meters. Notably, the pilot achieved a good threshold height, a satisfactory threshold speed of 58 knots, and a touch down speed at 49 knots which was good. Moreover, the pilot achieved a touchdown rate of -332 ft per minute, which was firm.

After landing, the plane rolled out along the runway, maintaining a very good alignment, in spite of the 7-knot tailwind. The total landing distance of 394 meters represented just 53% of the runway length, demonstrating the effective control exerted by the pilot. The total distance traveled by the plane during the entire flight was 6 nautical miles, requiring 6 of time used and consuming 0 kg of fuel in the process.

Landing Score 94.04 %

Landing Summary

A Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Block Island State Airport (KBID) with an exceptional score of 94.0%. The airplane approached the runway from the west, aligning with heading 84.0° at 1 nautical mile from the threshold and at an altitude of 352 feet above ground level (agl). Given the runway length of 745 meters, the aircraft demonstrated good control, making a smooth final approach towards runway 10.

The threshold height was adequately judged, allowing the pilot to initiate a good threshold speed of 58 knots. This controlled speed facilitated a precise touchdown, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a respectable distance of 169 meters. Moreover, the touchdown speed of 49 knots was also commendable, demonstrating the pilot's excellent control skills. The negative rate of descent of -332 feet per minute at touchdown further highlights the firm but controlled nature of the landing, underscoring the pilot's expertise in handling the aircraft.

The runway touchdown alignment was reported as perfect, signifying the pilot's ability to align the aircraft precisely with the centerline of the runway. The weather conditions on the day of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind blowing at 7 knots from 254°. Although there was a slight crosswind of 1 knot, the tailwind compensation, which consisted of 7 knots, ensured that the aircraft was stable throughout the landing process. This precise control ultimately led to a total landing distance of 394 meters, representing just 53% of the runway length.

The runway rollout alignment following the touchdown was deemed exceptionally good, signifying a seamless transition from the landing process to taxiing. Overall, this landing performance showcases the exceptional skills of the pilot and the high degree of control maintained during the landing process, underscoring the excellence of aviation in this instance.
