What went well

Touched down at -101 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 397 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.96 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Taxi — Landing Lights at 1 %, peak taxi speed 41 kt at 47 %, −2.35 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 99 ft agl was significantly above target at 3 %, −2.07 points
Departure Roll — Runway alignment max 15.43 m right at 55 %, −0.61 points

Next time

Departure

Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft tracked 15 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 5.7°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Arrival

Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 99 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 172 taxied from the parking area to runway 05R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, a movement that lasted 9 minutes and covered 1 nm.

Take-off was performed on runway 05R. The aircraft used 208 m of runway, which was 8 % of the available length, and rotated at 66 kt. Local weather at departure was 7 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 050°, giving a head-wind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.

Initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 57 seconds, averaging 853 fpm and reaching 78 kt at the top of the climb. The climb continued from 819 ft asl to 1 595 ft asl in 1 minute while covering 2 nm, beginning overhead Düsseldorf.

The aircraft then entered level flight at 2 000 ft asl for 25 minutes, covering 33 nm, still overhead Düsseldorf.

Descent began from 1 529 ft asl to 549 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 2 nm, starting 1 mile south of Eil.

Final approach was to runway 06 at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport. The descent from 764 ft agl to 129 ft agl took 55 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate and wings level; they were not met for glideslope, centreline and speed. The aircraft was in final flap position 3 at 821 ft agl and was flying 68 kt.

Landing on runway 06 occurred with a threshold height of 99 ft agl, which was significantly above target, and a threshold speed of 63 kt, described as good. The flare was excellent; the aircraft crossed the threshold high. Touchdown was at 397 m down the runway, with a speed of 51 kt and a smooth rate of -101 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was perfect and no bounce occurred.

Total landing distance was 662 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 8 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 100°, giving a head-wind component of 2 kt and a cross-wind of 1 kt.

After landing, the Cessna taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.

The entire flight covered 40 nm, lasted 37 minutes and used 13 kg of fuel.
