The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31 at the Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport (KMPO). The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 270 meters, which was 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 64 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, the pilot encountered a calm weather condition with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 31, navigating the aircraft through a series of turns and descents to establish a stable approach configuration.

The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was particularly short, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 17 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 2 nautical miles. The subsequent downwind leg was also brief, lasting only 5 seconds as the aircraft descended towards the runway.

The final approach to runway 13 was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 115 degrees and an altitude of 134 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady speed, slightly below the target threshold speed of 65 knots, and touched down on the runway at a speed of 43 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering 369 meters, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -86 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the pilot was able to maintain a smooth rollout, with the aircraft coming to a stop at a distance of 734 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing.

After landing, the pilot taxied the aircraft to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 1530 minutes. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 13 at KMPO Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 97.32 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KMPO Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 115.0° at 0 nm and 134 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 13.

The runway length at KMPO Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport is 1,362 meters, providing a safe margin for the aircraft's landing. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 65 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement.

The touchdown distance of 369 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 43 knots was also good. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -86 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and quickly, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 282°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 734 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.

Overall, the Cessna C172 aircraft performed an excellent landing at KMPO Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport, with a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft's precision and control during the approach and landing were impressive, and the favorable weather conditions contributed to a safe and successful landing.
