The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at CYDF Deer Lake Airport, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 454 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 70 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed out of Deer Lake Airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,058 feet above sea level to 4,985 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,927 feet in just 7 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued its journey, entering another climb phase 6 miles south west of CCT5 South Brook Seaplane Base. This climb took the aircraft from 4,740 feet above sea level to 5,220 feet above sea level, an increase of 481 feet in just 2 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for 9 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 15 miles north east of Stephenville Crossing. The descent took the aircraft from 4,884 feet above sea level to 2,908 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,975 feet in just 5 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, flying at a steady altitude for 6 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 27 at CYJT Dymond Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 252.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,997 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 3,046 meters. The threshold height was excessively over target, but the threshold speed was slightly above target at 66 knots.

The touchdown distance was good, at 393 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 63 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -612 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 19.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions were similar to those at the departure airport, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees.

The total landing distance was 827 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 28.1 meters from the centreline. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 61 nautical miles, taking 44 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 27 at CYJT Dymond Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 67.84 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at CYJT Dymond Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach to runway 27 from the east was initiated at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,997 feet above ground level (agl), with a heading of 252.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown was not ideal.

The threshold height at 128 ft agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the point of touchdown. This could be due to a number of factors, including an incorrect approach path or a failure to maintain the correct rate of descent. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 66 kt, which may have contributed to the high touchdown height.

The touchdown distance of 393 m was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and maintain control during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 63 kt was a little fast, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and could have made the landing more difficult to control. The touchdown rate of -612 fpm was heavy, indicating that the aircraft was descending at a rapid rate during the landing, which could have made it more difficult to maintain control.

One of the most significant issues with the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was significantly misaligned by 19.8 m from the centreline. This could have made it more difficult to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and could have put additional stress on the landing gear. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°.

The total landing distance of 827 m was 27% of the runway length, which is relatively short. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 28.1 m from the centreline, which could have made it more difficult to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, while the Cessna C172 aircraft was able to land safely at CYJT Dymond Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The high touchdown height, fast touchdown speed, and heavy touchdown rate all contributed to a less-than-ideal landing. Additionally, the misaligned runway touchdown position and rollout alignment could have made it more difficult to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases.
