Stabilised approach
Where the wheels went down
Side view — the last 682 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 682 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 87 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
2.44 points lost
Biggest loss first. Every scored stage counts equally within its phase, and the phases equally in the flight score — so each amount is exact, not an estimate.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 50 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Oer-Erkenschwick in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 797 feet above ground level. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 667 feet, likely due to a change in the aircraft's configuration or a decision to re-evaluate the approach.
The landing was eventually made on runway 25, which had a length of 682 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 54 knots. The touchdown distance was 85 meters, and the touchdown speed was 50 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was also good at -172 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions during the landing were the same as before, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 265 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes. The aircraft used 11 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield, achieving a score of 91.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 797 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 682 meters.
Upon landing, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 54 kt instead of the desired speed. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 85 meters, and the touchdown speed of 50 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was minimal, contributing to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 265 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and the runway's dimensions. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at EDLM Marl-Loemühle Airfield was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency.
