The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 07 at the Falcone–Borsellino Airport (LICJ). The takeoff distance was 377 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 63 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 244 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern, which took 15 seconds to complete and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 07, which it navigated in 26 seconds and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was completed in 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 49.0 °. The downwind leg of the pattern took 98 seconds to complete and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The base leg turn was completed in 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 14.1 °. The aircraft then landed on runway 07, which had a length of 3,000 meters. However, the threshold height at 141 feet above ground level was excessively high, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 121 knots.

The touchdown point was 736 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 74 knots, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was good at -170 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 245 °, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,665 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 26.1 meters from the centreline. The flight then ended with taxiing to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight used 4 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 07 at LICJ Falcone–Borsellino Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 50.06 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft has landed at Falcone–Borsellino Airport, with a score of 50.1%. This indicates that the landing was not entirely satisfactory, with several areas for improvement. The aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 3,000 meters.

One of the key issues with this landing was the excessive height of the threshold, which was 141 feet above ground level (agl), significantly above the target. This suggests that the pilot may have been too high on final approach, which could have contributed to the other issues with the landing. The threshold speed was also excessively high at 121 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed for landing.

The touchdown point was 736 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have been too far back on the runway. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was also too fast, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. However, the touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the descent effectively.

The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.9 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more difficult and increased the risk of veering off the runway. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 245°. There was a slight tailwind of 4 knots, which may have contributed to the issues with the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,665 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the pilot may have been too slow to stop the aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 26.1 meters from the centerline, which could have made it more difficult to control the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing was not satisfactory, and the pilot will need to work on improving their technique to achieve a better score. This may involve practicing approaches and landings to develop a more consistent and controlled descent, as well as improving their ability to align with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
