The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 31 at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport in Bratislava, Slovakia. The takeoff distance was 498 meters, which is 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 71 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 2,297 feet above sea level, an increase of 857 feet from the initial altitude of 1,440 feet. This climb took 1 minute and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The enroute climb started overhead LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport, and the aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This cruise phase started 1 mile south-west of Bratislava - Vajnory.
The aircraft then began its descent, which started 2 miles north of Bratislava. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,614 feet above sea level to 2,145 feet. The enroute level cruise phase then started again, this time overhead Bratislava, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport was made from the south-west, with a heading of 63.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,713 feet above ground level. However, the landing was not entirely smooth, as the touchdown point was 332 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 71 knots, which is considered too fast. The touchdown rate was also hard at -456 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,115 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.6 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft took 4 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight took 15 minutes to complete, using 5 kilograms of fuel.

The Cessna C172 aircraft has successfully landed at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 04 from the south west was initiated at an altitude of 1,713 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was heading 63.0 degrees at the time of the approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 332 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 71 knots was also too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touching down. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was hard, with a descent rate of -456 feet per minute, which can be stressful on the aircraft and its occupants.
The runway touchdown position was also significantly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating 17.2 meters from the centerline. This misalignment can make it difficult for the pilot to control the aircraft during the rollout phase, which can increase the risk of a loss of control or a runway excursion. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.6 meters from the centerline, which further exacerbates the issue.
The threshold height at 258 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach path. The threshold speed was also excessively high at 89 knots, which can make it difficult to control the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and should not have had a significant impact on the landing.
Overall, while the Cessna C172 aircraft was able to land safely at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport, the landing was not without its issues. The pilot will need to work on improving their approach and landing skills to ensure a smoother and more controlled touchdown in the future.
