Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 01 at BIRL Reykjahlíð Airport, where the Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 262 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 52 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -10°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead BIRL Reykjahlíð Airport Myvatn. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,807 feet above sea level to 3,121 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,313 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, allowing the aircraft to reach its desired altitude quickly.

After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles northeast of BIRL Reykjahlíð Airport Myvatn. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,113 feet above sea level to 1,210 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,904 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The descent was also a smooth and controlled one, allowing the aircraft to reach its desired altitude without any issues.

As the aircraft approached the airport for landing, it began its final approach to runway 01 from the south, heading 2.0 degrees at an altitude of 169 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 795 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target speed of 51 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 136 meters, and the touchdown speed was 41 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -241 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of -10°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 197 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.

Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft completing a total distance of 9 nautical miles in 11 minutes, using 4 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by smooth and efficient climbs and descents, as well as a good landing.

Landing on runway 01 at BIRL Reykjahlíð Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk
Landing Score 97.34 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at BIRL Reykjahlíð Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 2.0° at an altitude of 169 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway. The pilot maintained a steady course as they descended onto the runway, which is 795 meters long.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 51 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a smooth landing over achieving the exact target speed. The touchdown distance of 136 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

The touchdown speed of 41 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to improve their touchdown rate with a bit more practice. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were quite challenging, with a temperature of -10°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 197°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, but the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.

The total landing distance of 272 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to control its descent effectively. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the pilot's performance was impressive, and with a bit more practice, they may be able to achieve an even higher score.
