Departing from a nearby airfield, the Cessna 152 began its enroute climb, ascending from 3,300 feet above sea level to 3,327 feet, a modest increase of 27 feet over the course of one minute, while covering a distance of approximately one nautical mile. This initial climb phase was initiated overhead Bran, a location in Brasov, Romania. The aircraft's rate of climb was moderate, allowing it to reach its desired altitude efficiently.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting one mile east of Bran. The descent from 3,326 feet to 2,671 feet, a decrease of 655 feet, was completed in two minutes, covering a distance of three nautical miles. This descent phase was executed smoothly, allowing the aircraft to reach its desired altitude for the approach. Upon entering the traffic pattern, the pilot initiated a right-hand pattern entry, followed by a downwind leg, base leg turn, and base leg, all of which were completed with precision. The final turn was executed in 32 seconds, positioning the aircraft for a smooth touchdown.

The aircraft touched down before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 46 knots, slightly above the recommended speed. However, the touchdown rate of 95 feet per minute was perfect, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 51 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 352 degrees, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The total landing distance was 676 feet, accounting for 43% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline, the overall landing was executed efficiently, with the aircraft using a total of 6 nautical miles and 1 pound of fuel over the course of the flight.

Landing on runway 04 at LRTO Aerodrom Piatra Craiului in the Cessna 152

Landing Score 77.79 %

Landing Summary

The approach to Runway 27 was initiated with a stable and controlled descent, maintaining a consistent airspeed of 65 knots. The aircraft's rate of descent was well-managed, with a gradual decrease in altitude, ultimately resulting in a touchdown before the threshold. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a score of 80% for the approach phase. However, the touchdown speed of 46 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold, indicating a need for further refinement in the flare.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a perfect touchdown rate of 95 feet per minute, demonstrating a well-executed landing technique. The runway touchdown alignment was spot on, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The total landing distance of 676 feet, accounting for 43% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. However, the rollout phase revealed a slight deviation from the centreline, with the aircraft drifting 30 feet off course. This minor misalignment resulted in a score of 75% for the rollout phase.

The overall landing score of 77.8% reflected a solid performance, with areas for improvement identified in the touchdown speed and rollout alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 51°F and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The slight crosswind component of 1 knot had a minimal impact on the landing, allowing the pilot to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
