Departure
Arrival
The Cessna Skyhawk departed from Western Sydney International Airport Badgerys Creek, climbing from an initial altitude of 252 ft above sea level to 1,336 ft in a short 1-minute period, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to reach a significant altitude gain of 1,084 ft, setting the stage for a smooth and efficient cruise phase.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 1,336 ft as it traversed 11 nautical miles over the course of 6 minutes. This phase of the flight was characterized by a stable and consistent airspeed, allowing the pilot to focus on navigation and route planning. The aircraft then began its descent, gradually losing altitude from 1,440 ft to 946 ft in a 2-minute period, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This controlled descent was followed by a brief level cruise phase, during which the aircraft maintained an altitude of 946 ft as it flew 5 nautical miles over a 4-minute period.
The final approach to runway 29R at Sydney Bankstown Airport was initiated from a heading of 305.0°, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 358 ft above ground level to touch down on the runway. The landing was characterized by a slightly below-target threshold speed of 51 kt, but the touchdown distance of 206 m was deemed good. The touchdown speed of 43 kt was also within acceptable limits, although the touchdown rate of -470 fpm was slightly harder than desired. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 4.0 m from the centreline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, and the total landing distance of 287 m accounted for only 26% of the available runway length.

Flaps Position 1 at 22:06:21 |
The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 29R at YSBK Sydney Bankstown Airport, marking a satisfactory conclusion to the approach from the south east. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 51 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 206 m, and the touchdown speed of 43 kt was also satisfactory.
The touchdown characteristics were notable for a hard rate of -470 fpm, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, deviating by 4.0 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a moderate headwind of 3 kt, may have influenced the aircraft's performance. The crosswind of 11 kt from the north west also played a role in the landing.
The overall landing distance of 287 m, accounting for 26% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was particularly impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. This, combined with the satisfactory touchdown characteristics and landing distance, resulted in a final score of 88.4%.
Landed with a 11 kt crosswind, well done!
