Landing on runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 94.82 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 265.0° at 0 nm and 223 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 1,035 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 52 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 141 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 46 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 312°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline. These deviations from the centerline may indicate some minor issues with the pilot's alignment or control of the aircraft during the landing.

Overall, the landing was considered safe and successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 44% of the runway length. The total landing distance was 456 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway length.
