The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at L88 New Cuyama, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance required was a relatively short 134 meters, which accounted for just 11% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 56 knots, a smooth and efficient start to the flight.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, the weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 228 degrees. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the flight even smoother.

The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 28, navigating the aircraft through a series of turns and legs. The first turn, a crosswind turn, was completed in just 54 seconds, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, was completed in 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself took 93 seconds to complete, covering a similar distance.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, the pilot made a turn, this time at a 41.8-degree angle to the runway. The base leg itself was a short distance, just less than 1 nautical mile, and was completed in 25 seconds. The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the final approach, was also short, taking just 31 seconds to complete.

The final approach was made to runway 28 from the southeast, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 296.0 degrees and an altitude of 317 feet above ground level. The pilot then landed the aircraft on the runway, touching down at a speed of 45 knots and a distance of just 10 meters. The touchdown rate was firm, at -371 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance was 271 meters, which accounted for just 23% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -3 kilograms of fuel.

Overall, the flight was a smooth and efficient one, with the pilot making good use of the favorable weather conditions to navigate the aircraft through the local airspace. The landing was also well-executed, with a good touchdown speed and distance, and a firm but controlled touchdown rate.

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at L88 New Cuyama, achieving a score of 90.0%. The final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 296.0° at 1 nautical mile and 317 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 45 knots, which was well below the target speed. This indicates that the pilot was cautious and aware of the need to avoid stalling the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown distance of 10 meters was also good, suggesting that the pilot had a smooth and controlled approach.

The touchdown speed of 45 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -371 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive. This indicates that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and rate of descent during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 230°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward. The total landing distance of 271 meters was only 23% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and rate of descent during the landing.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control, precision, and caution throughout the approach and landing.
