The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDWZ Baltrum Airport, achieving a high score of 96.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 277.0° at an altitude of 77 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This precise approach demonstrates the pilot's skill and control over the aircraft.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 360 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 52 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 67 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 49 knots was also within acceptable limits.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -100 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to smoothly and gradually bring the aircraft to a stop, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or the runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 22°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot's ability to adapt to them was evident in the smooth and controlled approach and landing. Overall, this landing demonstrates the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating challenging weather conditions and executing a precise and safe landing.
