Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 22 at KCDW Essex County Airport. The takeoff distance was 343 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 67 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 189 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Caldwell, New Jersey. The climb took 7 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,150 feet above sea level to 6,561 feet.

Following the climb, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting overhead Kearny, New Jersey. The descent took 5 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 6,673 feet to 3,510 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting overhead Palisades Park, New Jersey, and lasting 29 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered 56 nautical miles.

The flight continued with a series of enroute descents and climbs, with the aircraft descending from 3,507 feet to 1,680 feet over Baiting Hollow, New York, and then climbing from 1,608 feet to 2,159 feet over Mattituck, New York. The aircraft also entered several level cruises, including a 3-minute period starting 2 miles northwest of Northville, New York, and a 6-minute period starting overhead North Haven, New York.

The final approach to runway 06 at KMTP Montauk Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 47.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,134 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 189 meters and a touchdown speed of 50 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 193 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 371 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 114 nautical miles, taking 74 minutes and using 32 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 06 at KMTP Montauk Airport in the Cessna 172
Landing Score 92.78 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KMTP Montauk Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 47.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,134 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 06.

The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 62 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 189 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 50 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's descent and had avoided any sudden or jarring movements. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 193°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were likely to have had a minimal impact on the landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were likely the primary factors in the successful outcome.

The total landing distance of 371 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively and had maintained control over the descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and had avoided any deviations from the intended path.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 92.8% reflects the high level of skill and experience demonstrated by the pilot, and the successful outcome of the landing.
