Improve the takeoff

Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C182, then departed from runway 16L at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY), with a takeoff distance of 262 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 64 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 25°C and winds of 4 knots at 150°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Van Nuys, where the aircraft climbed from 1,576 feet above sea level to 1,641 feet above sea level, an increase of 65 feet in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Encino, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 2 miles north of North Hills, where it climbed from 2,091 feet above sea level to 9,374 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,284 feet in 12 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise 1 mile west of Green Valley, which lasted for 12 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began an enroute descent 6 miles south of Stallion Springs, where it descended from 8,434 feet above sea level to 1,789 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,645 feet in 12 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 2 miles north of Fuller Acres, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 30R at Meadows Field (KBFL) was made from the southeast, heading 316.0° at 2 nautical miles and 369 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at 3 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 30R, which had a length of 2,256 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 65 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 428 meters, and the touchdown speed was 53 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -80 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 33°C and winds of 8 knots at 309°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 7 knots.

The total landing distance was 520 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 89 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 21 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field in the Cessna 182
Landing Score 97.14 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at KBFL Meadows Field, achieving a score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 30R was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 316.0° at 2 nautical miles and 369 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 65 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive with the approach, but still managed to maintain control and land safely. The touchdown distance of 428 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 53 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -80 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high degree of control and precision during the landing, resulting in a smooth and stable touchdown.

Despite the good overall performance, there were a few minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were also favorable, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind of 8 knots at 309°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.

The total landing distance of 520 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high degree of control and precision during the landing, resulting in a short and safe touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the Cessna C182 aircraft demonstrated a high degree of proficiency and control during the landing at KBFL Meadows Field. While there were a few minor issues with the landing, the pilot's overall performance was excellent, and the landing was executed safely and smoothly.
