Landing on runway 03 at YADG Aldinga Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 95.86 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at YADG Aldinga Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 33.0° at 0 nm and 185 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 767 meters.

The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 42 knots was well below the target, indicating a safe approach. However, the pilot was advised to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was low. The touchdown distance of 54 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 38 knots was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable rate for a safe landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centreline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 266°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, and the tailwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance and the pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach.

The total landing distance was 230 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a good approach and landing technique. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position and the low threshold speed may require some attention in future approaches.
