The flight began with the aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 149 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 52 knots.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it encountered a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 23, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 12 seconds.

The aircraft continued with the left-hand pattern, navigating through the crosswind leg, which took approximately 25 seconds to complete and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and maintaining an angle of 91.6 degrees relative to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 62 seconds.

The pilot then began the base leg, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 31 seconds. The final turn was completed in 44 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23, flying from the northeast at a heading of 213.0 degrees and an altitude of 158 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed on runway 23, which had a length of 2,184 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 47 knots was well below the target speed, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling. The touchdown distance was 114 meters, and the touchdown speed was 40 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -237 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.2 meters. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 227 meters, accounting for 10% of the runway's length. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned from the centreline by 2,116.0 meters.

The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, which was completed in 12 minutes. The aircraft used approximately 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 87.41 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport, achieving a score of 87.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 213.0° at 0 nm and 158 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was 47 kt, which was well below the target speed. This indicates that the pilot was cautious and took necessary measures to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 114 m was also good, and the touchdown speed of 40 kt was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -237 fpm was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the pilot's judgment of the wind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 28 °C, with a wind speed of 12 kt at 250°. The crosswind was 8 kt, while the headwind was 10 kt, which may have affected the pilot's ability to maintain a straight course.

The total landing distance of 227 m was only 10% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 2,116.0 m from the centreline, which suggests that the pilot may have lost control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. This could have been due to a combination of factors, including the wind conditions and the pilot's inexperience with the aircraft.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. With further practice and experience, the pilot should be able to refine their skills and achieve a higher score.
