This flight was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, where the pilot successfully executed a go-around maneuver from runway 23 at Mangalore Airport (YMNG). The aircraft was initially approaching the runway from the north east, heading at 229.0 degrees, approximately 1 nautical mile away from the runway threshold at an altitude of 493 feet above ground level.

Upon final approach, the pilot successfully landed the aircraft on runway 23, which has a length of 2,024 meters. The threshold height was reported to be good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 52 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 274 meters, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 42 knots, which was within the acceptable range.

The landing performance was further enhanced by an excellent touchdown rate of -94 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.

Following the successful landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance was 444 meters, which accounted for only 22% of the runway length. The pilot's skill and control were evident in the smooth and efficient rollout, which further demonstrated the aircraft's handling capabilities.

In terms of the overall flight performance, the total distance traveled was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft consumed a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's reliability, with a smooth and controlled landing executed in challenging weather conditions.
