Landing on runway 36L at YLIL Lilydale Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 83.97 %

Landing Summary

Overall, your aircraft landing score of 84.0% shows a strong performance with room for improvement in some key areas.

During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment and had a threshold speed of 53 knots, which was below target. This indicates good control and awareness of the aircraft's speed, but it is important to be mindful of not stalling the aircraft.

In the Landing Phase, you had a good threshold height, but there were some areas that could be improved. Your landing flare was rated fair, meaning there is room for improvement in maintaining a stable descent angle during landing. Additionally, your landing heading and bank angle stability were rated poor, indicating a need for better alignment and control during the landing process.

Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was firm at -396 ft/m, which may require adjustment to ensure a smoother landing in the future. However, your touchdown speed of 39 knots was good, along with a touchdown distance of 342 meters. It is worth noting that your runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.8 meters from the centerline, which indicates the need for improved precision during the touchdown phase.

Overall, your performance shows promise with strong areas in glideslope alignment and speed control. By focusing on improving your landing flare, heading and bank angle stability, touchdown rate, and runway alignment, you have the opportunity to further enhance your landing skills and achieve an even higher score in future attempts. Keep up the good work and continue to practice and refine your technique to reach your full potential as a skilled pilot.
