The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 29 at S39 Prineville, a small airfield in Oregon, United States. The takeoff distance was 494 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, a wind speed of 10 knots from 226°, with a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northwest of S39 Prineville. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 4,205 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 6,271 feet, an increase of 2,066 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, starting 5 miles north of Prineville.

The enroute descent phase began approximately 3 miles southeast of OG51 Six Springs Ranch Airport, Madras, Oregon, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 6,394 feet to 2,388 feet, a decrease of 4,006 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern for the approach to runway 21 at 97WA Basin City Airfield, which was located to the northeast of the aircraft's position. The approach was made from a heading of 223.0° at an altitude of 401 feet above ground level, and the aircraft was at 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

The final approach and landing took place on runway 21, which had a length of 657 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C, a wind speed of 11 knots from 191°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The threshold speed was well above the target speed, at 69 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 124 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 63 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6 meters.

The total landing distance was 358 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 159 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes, during which the aircraft used 37 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 21 at 97WA Basin City Airfield in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 90.55 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at 97WA Basin City Airfield, with a score of 90.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 223.0° at 0 nm and 401 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 657 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 69 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than necessary.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 124 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length. However, the touchdown speed of 63 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is considered fair, but could be improved upon.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 6.0 meters. This may have been due to the crosswind component of 6 knots, which could have affected the aircraft's alignment during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 191°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during the landing.

The total landing distance was 358 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, there are some areas for improvement, including reducing the touchdown speed and improving the touchdown rate.
