Arrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 01 at BIRL Reykjahlíð Airport, where the Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 419 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 66 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were quite cold, with a temperature of -10°C, and a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 198 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead BIRL Reykjahlíð Airport Myvatn. The climb was quite steep, with the aircraft rising from 1,197 feet above sea level to 3,115 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This impressive climb was achieved in a short period of time, demonstrating the capabilities of the Cessna Skyhawk.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles. This cruise phase was initiated 4 miles north-east of BIRL Reykjahlíð Airport Myvatn. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 5 miles south of BIKP Kópasker Airport Kópasker. The descent was quite steep, with the aircraft dropping from 2,449 feet above sea level to 96 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 12 at BIKP Kópasker Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 106.0 degrees at an altitude of 76 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 41 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 278 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.9 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were slightly warmer than at departure, with a temperature of -3°C, and a wind blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 337 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 659 meters, which accounted for 82% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14.1 meters.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking just 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 42 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 12 at BIKP Kópasker Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk
Landing Score 89.15 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at BIKP Kópasker Airport, achieving a score of 89.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 106.0° at an altitude of 76 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 54 knots, but still within an acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 278 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 41 knots was also within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -141 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled landing.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor error in navigation. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a similar reason.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were not ideal, with a temperature of -3°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 337°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots, which may have affected the pilot's ability to maintain a perfectly aligned approach and touchdown. Despite these challenges, the pilot was able to execute a safe and controlled landing, demonstrating their skills and experience in handling the aircraft in various weather conditions.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's performance was commendable, considering the challenging weather conditions and minor deviations in the approach and touchdown.
