The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport. The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 62 kt. The takeoff distance was 458 m, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °.

After taking off, the pilot entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport. The entry into the pattern was swift, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nm in just 19 seconds. The pilot then executed a left-hand pattern crosswind, which took 29 seconds to complete. The subsequent pattern turns and legs were executed with precision, with the pilot maintaining a steady heading and altitude.

The pattern downwind turn was a 45-degree turn, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long and took 85 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was another 45-degree turn, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nm. The base leg was short, lasting less than 1 nm in 42 seconds. The final turn into the runway was quick, taking less than 1 nm in 21 seconds.

The final approach to runway 10 was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 98.0 ° at an altitude of 179 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nm from the runway. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 54 kt and a distance of 141 m from the threshold. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °. The total landing distance was 447 m, which accounted for 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The total flight distance was 7 nm, and the flight took 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 8 kg of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating the Cessna C172 aircraft.

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 10 was executed from the west, with the aircraft heading 98.0° at an altitude of 179 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 60 knots, which is considered a good threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 141 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown speed of 54 knots was also satisfactory, and the rate of descent was smooth at -126 feet per minute, further demonstrating the pilot's skill.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had accurately aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The total landing distance of 447 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the use of runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in handling the Cessna C172 aircraft. The score of 97.6% reflects the pilot's exceptional performance, and the landing was considered a success.
