Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from 1,500 feet above sea level (asl) to 1,394 ft asl, an increase of 106 ft in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). The climb began 7 miles southeast of Sandwick, located in the Shetland Islands, Scotland.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise, which started 7 miles east of EGPB Sumburgh Airport, Lerwick, also situated in the Shetland Islands. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nm.
The final approach to runway 27 at EGPB Sumburgh Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 261.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,372 ft above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 27, which has a length of 1,305 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 80 kt.
The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 50 kt was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute (fpm). Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 kt at 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 2 kt was present.
The total landing distance was 853 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 34.8 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft took 2 minutes to taxi to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 9 nm, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kg of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully landed at Sumburgh Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 261.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,372 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 1,305 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 80 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to improve their approach speed to achieve a more optimal touchdown. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to make a more precise landing.
The touchdown speed of 50 knots was reported as good, and the touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown point.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 853 meters, which is 65% of the runway length.
One of the most notable issues with the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway rollout alignment, which was off by 34.8 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, potentially due to a combination of factors including the high threshold speed and the off-center touchdown point.
Overall, while the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully landed at Sumburgh Airport, there are several areas for improvement that the pilot should focus on to achieve a more optimal landing. These include reducing the threshold speed, improving the accuracy of the touchdown point, and maintaining better control during the rollout phase.
