This flight was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from the Marl-Loemühle Airfield in Marl, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft took off from a height of 252 feet above sea level and climbed to 2,568 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This rapid ascent demonstrates the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles north east of Gladbeck, also located in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. During this 7-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. This phase of the flight showcases the aircraft's stability and endurance.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south east of the Essen-Mülheim Airport in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The descent from 2,786 feet above sea level to 1,426 feet above sea level took just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This rapid descent demonstrates the aircraft's ability to efficiently lose altitude.

The final approach to runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 233.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing on the 2,395-meter runway was successful, with the threshold height being well above the target, and the threshold speed being good at 58 knots.

The touchdown distance was also good at 458 meters, and the touchdown speed was 51 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was excellent at -77 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot, indicating minimal wind resistance. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 6 kilograms of fuel.

Takeoff on runway at in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 82.74 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving a score of 82.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl).

The final approach to the runway was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 51 knots, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 458 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision.

However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal landing performance, as the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline. This minor discrepancy may have been due to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing process relatively straightforward.

Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport was a successful operation, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, the overall score of 82.7% indicates a high level of competence and skill.
