Landing on runway 06 at KPNE Northeast Philadelphia Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 90.05 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 06 at KPNE Northeast Philadelphia Airport, achieving a score of 90.0%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,217 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 74 knots. The touchdown point was located 84 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 53 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.

The total landing distance of 763 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. The minor deviations in threshold speed and rollout alignment do not significantly impact the overall score, and the pilot's performance is considered satisfactory.
