Landing Score 89.84 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 approached runway 13 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport from the north-west on a heading of 117.0° while 2 nm out and 883 ft agl, with temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt tailwind component.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a good threshold speed of 62 kt.

Touchdown occurred 174 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a good speed of 52 kt, with an excellent vertical rate of minus 93 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.5 m from the centreline.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 938 m, representing 44 % of the 2,131 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

To tighten future landings, aim to achieve touchdown within the touchdown zone and reduce lateral offset to keep the aircraft on the centreline.
