Departure
Arrival
Departing from a location near Attwood in the State of Victoria, Australia, the Cessna 152 began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,210 feet above sea level to 1,223 feet above sea level, a gain of 13 feet in just one minute. This initial climb phase was characterized by a relatively short distance of less than one nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached Melbourne Essendon Airport (YMEN), it entered the final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 17 from the north. At a distance of three nautical miles from the runway threshold, the aircraft was at an altitude of 973 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold height that was excessively above target, and a threshold speed that was well above the recommended value. However, the touchdown speed of 34 knots and the touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, despite a crosswind of 4 knots from the west.
The aircraft landed 180 meters beyond the touchdown zone, resulting in a total landing distance of 730 meters, which accounted for 48% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9 meters from the centerline. The flight, which covered a total distance of three nautical miles, consumed approximately one kilogram of fuel and lasted for three minutes. Local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 269 degrees.

The final approach to runway 17 at YMEN Melbourne Essendon Airport from the north was initiated at 3 nautical miles and 973 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a heading of 0.0° throughout the approach, with a satisfactory approach quality. However, the threshold height at 183 feet above ground level was excessively over target, indicating a slightly high approach. The threshold speed of 67 knots was also well above the target, suggesting a slightly aggressive approach.
The aircraft touched down 180 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 34 knots and a touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 4 knots at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible.
The total landing distance of 730 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the landing roll. Overall, the landing performance scored 73.1%, reflecting a good but not exceptional landing.
