The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 17 at Melbourne Essendon Airport (YMEN). The takeoff distance was 382 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 64 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Aberfeldie, a suburb in the state of Victoria, Australia. The climb took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,128 feet above sea level to 3,638 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,510 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of Derrimut. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north east of Tarneit Airport (YWBE). The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,036 feet above sea level to 2,059 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,977 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles north of Little River. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at Avalon Airport (YMAV) was made from the north, with a heading of 183.0° and at an altitude of 1,396 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 18, which has a length of 3,047 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 55 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 335 meters, and the touchdown speed was 48 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -54 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 498 meters, which is 16% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 34 nautical miles, and the flight took 27 minutes, using 12 kilograms of fuel.

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at YMAV Avalon Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 183.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,396 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 3,047 meters and the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 13°C, with a gentle wind of 5 knots blowing from 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 55 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 48 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 335 meters was also good, and the touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. This suggests that the pilot applied the correct amount of reverse thrust and braking to bring the aircraft to a safe stop.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 8.4 meters off the centerline. This may be attributed to the pilot's reaction to the landing or the aircraft's response to the braking. Nevertheless, the total landing distance of 498 meters was only 16% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed and braking.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at YMAV Avalon Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
