The Cessna Skyhawk successfully completed a landing at a location 26 miles southeast of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its final approach, scoring 92.2% overall. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft from an altitude of 1 nm to 1 nm at 650 ft above ground level (agl) showcased excellent control and precision.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 44 ft agl to 0 ft agl in a remarkably short period of 9 seconds. This rapid descent indicates the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's altitude and airspeed. The touchdown speed of 42 kt was deemed good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
However, the touchdown rate of -239 fpm was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly harder than desired. This could be attributed to the pilot's decision to prioritize a stable approach over a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 219 m was deemed good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 16 kt at 52 °. The crosswind component was 14 kt, while the headwind component was 8 kt. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience in handling the aircraft in various weather conditions.
