Arrival
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 31R at Melbourne Moorabbin Airport (YMMB). The takeoff distance was 327 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 56 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 31R. The entry distance was less than 1 nautical mile and was completed in 38 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was also flown, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 22 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was completed with a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees, which was 120.9°.
The final approach to runway 35L at YMMB was made from the south, with a heading of 355.0° and an altitude of 457 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing on runway 35L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 64 meters and a touchdown speed of 42 knots. The touchdown rate was a bit hard at -440 feet per minute (fpm), but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 230°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 194 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight took 4 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, suggesting that the flight was likely a short training exercise or a test flight.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne Moorabbin Airport (YMMB) on runway 35L, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 355.0° at 1 nautical mile and 457 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 of 47 knots was well below the target speed, indicating that the pilot was cautious to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 64 meters was also good, demonstrating the pilot's control and precision during the landing. The touchdown speed of 42 knots was within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill.
However, the touchdown rate of -440 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 230°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot.
The total landing distance of 194 meters was 22% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which could be achieved through smoother application of the landing gear.
