The flight began with a smooth takeoff, rolling down runway 25 at LERS Reus Airport. The Cessna C172 aircraft was able to lift off on the run's 17% with a takeoff distance of 378 meters, reaching liftoff speed of 67 knots. The weather conditions on departure included a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a calm wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in no crosswind but a gentle headwind.

Once airborne, the enroute climb started, taking the aircraft from 1,205 feet above sea level to 2,753 feet, a considerable increase of 1,548 feet, in just 2 minutes. This phase of the flight was marked by quick ascent and a distance of 4 nautical miles. After completing the climb, the aircraft began an enroute level cruise, flying overhead Cambrils in Catalonia, Spain. This phase lasted for 25 minutes, covering an impressive 51 nautical miles.

The second enroute level cruise started roughly 5 miles south east of Salsadella in the Comunitat Valenciana region of Spain. This part of the flight lasted 7 minutes, covering a relatively shorter distance of 9 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered the phase of descent, plummeting from 3,373 feet above sea level to 2,040 feet, a loss of 1,333 feet, in 3 minutes. This descent was undertaken over a distance of 5 nautical miles.

With the aircraft now at a suitable altitude, it began the final approach to runway 24 at LECH Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport. The approach was initiated from the north east, following a precise heading of 232.0 degrees. Upon landing, the aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 374 meters. The touchdown speed of 56 knots met the target values.

The landing distance of 770 meters, accounting for just 29% of the runway's length, highlighted the aircraft's ability to land precisely within the designated area. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was characterized by its exceptional precision.

Following the successful landing, taxiing to the parking was accomplished in approximately 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. In summary, the aircraft completed the total flight distance of 76 nautical miles, lasting 47 minutes and utilized 24 kilograms of fuel throughout the journey.

Landing on runway 24 at LECH Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 79.11 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft has successfully landed at LECH Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport, achieving a score of 79.1%. The final approach began from the north east, with a heading of 232.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,334 feet above ground level (agl).

As the aircraft approached the runway, it demonstrated good control, particularly in terms of threshold speed. The pilot managed to maintain an appropriate speed of 59 knots at the runway threshold, indicating a high level of proficiency. However, the threshold height was not ideal, as it was excessively over the target height of 104 ft agl.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a good touchdown distance of 374 meters and a corresponding touchdown speed of 56 kt. This suggests that the pilot successfully executed the landing, taking into account the runway's length of 2,699 meters. However, the touchdown rate of -627 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, which may indicate that the pilot could improve their flare technique to achieve a smoother landing.

Other notable aspects of the landing include perfect runway touchdown alignment, despite the slight over-height threshold. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and wind speeds of 1 kt both head and crosswind, did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 770 meters represented 29% of the runway, which is within an acceptable margin.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was reported as "very good," demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, while there is room for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during this landing.
