Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at the Betzdorf-Kirchen Airfield, EDKI. The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the 362-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 54 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Katzwinkel in the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,386 feet above sea level to 2,426 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 4 minutes and covering 39 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew 1 mile northwest of Katzwinkel.

The enroute descent began overhead the town of Holzwickede in the German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,817 feet above sea level to 498 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid descent was followed by a final approach to runway 24 at Dortmund Airport, EDLW, which was located to the northeast of the aircraft's position.

The final approach was characterized by a heading of 241.0 degrees and an altitude of 90 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 48 knots, with a touchdown distance of 237 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect, at -31 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.5 meters.

The total landing distance was 607 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 10.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 44 nautical miles, taking 8 minutes to complete, and used 51 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by a series of smooth and controlled maneuvers, with the aircraft responding well to the pilot's inputs.

Landing report
Landing on runway 24 at EDLW Dortmund Airport in the Cessna 172
Landing Score 96.26 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDLW Dortmund Airport, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 241.0° at 1 nautical mile and 90 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 54 knots, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 237 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 48 knots was also satisfactory. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at -31 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration.

However, there were a few minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline. These minor deviations may have been caused by a combination of factors, including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal, which made the landing conditions relatively easy. Overall, the Cessna C172 aircraft performed well during the landing, and the minor issues that arose did not significantly impact the overall score.
