Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from the Ajax Airport in Condon, Oregon. The climb began at an altitude of 11,973 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 11,626 feet, resulting in an increase of 346 feet over a distance of 2 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. This demonstrates the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude in a short period.
As the flight continued, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southeast of the Ajax Airport. The descent from 11,600 feet to 2,352 feet above sea level was a significant decrease of 9,248 feet over a distance of 10 nautical miles in 5 minutes. This descent was likely a controlled and gradual process, allowing the pilot to maintain a safe and stable flight path.
The final approach to runway 09 at the Ajax Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading at 103.0 degrees and at an altitude of 178 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 57 knots, indicating a controlled and precise approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was good at 154 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 49 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute, demonstrating the pilot's skill in executing a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a slight tailwind of 1 knot was present. The total landing distance was 356 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases.
In conclusion, this flight was a successful and efficient operation, with the Cessna C172 aircraft performing well in terms of climb, descent, and landing. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the flight, and the aircraft's performance was within acceptable limits. The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight used 1 kilogram of fuel.

Flaps Fully Retracted at 15:47:41 |
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at OR46 Ajax Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 103.0° at 0 nm and 178 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 662 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 57 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 154 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 49 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.1 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's handling characteristics. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 356 meters, which accounts for 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, the slight deviation in the runway touchdown position and the slightly below-target threshold speed are areas for improvement.
