The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18R at YLIL Lilydale Airport, where the aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, took off with a takeoff distance of 88 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 55 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from 187 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 9 knots and no crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Coldstream, Victoria, Australia, at an altitude of 993 feet above sea level. The climb was steep, with an increase of 1,238 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off at an altitude of 2,232 feet above sea level.

The enroute descent began 1 mile southeast of Yarra Glen, Victoria, Australia, where the aircraft descended from 2,250 feet above sea level to 1,711 feet above sea level, a decrease of 539 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead YLIL Lilydale Airport for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 16 at YCEM Coldstream Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 192.0 degrees at an altitude of 411 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 41 knots and a touchdown distance of 179 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was hard, at -472 feet per minute.

However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 12.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from 187 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 338 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 9.6 meters. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes, during which the aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 16 at YCEM Coldstream Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 83.86 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at YCEM Coldstream Airport, achieving an overall score of 83.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 192.0° at 2 nautical miles and 411 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a good final approach, with a threshold speed of 59 knots, which is within the acceptable range.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 179 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed of 41 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -472 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive descent.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 12.1 meters from the centreline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a slight crosswind component. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind of 9 knots at 187°, may have also contributed to this deviation.

The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 338 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown rate.
