This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from an initial altitude of 551 feet above sea level (asl) to a maximum altitude of 2,340 ft asl. The climb was rapid, with an increase of 1,789 ft in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). This phase of the flight was completed in a short period, showcasing the aircraft's ability to ascend quickly.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile east of the EDAY Strausberg Airfield in Strausberg, Brandenburg, Germany. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 1 nm. The level cruise phase was a brief but essential part of the flight, allowing the aircraft to reach a stable cruising altitude.

The enroute descent phase began overhead the EDAY Strausberg Airfield, with the aircraft descending from 2,318 ft asl to 417 ft asl. This descent was also rapid, with a decrease of 1,901 ft in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The aircraft's ability to descend quickly and efficiently was demonstrated during this phase of the flight.

The landing phase was conducted on runway 23 at the EDAY Strausberg Airfield, which has a length of 1,189 meters. The threshold height at 130 ft above ground level (agl) was found to be excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed of 64 kt was slightly above target, suggesting that the aircraft was approaching the runway at a suitable speed. The touchdown distance of 15 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 55 kt was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centreline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C, did not appear to have any significant impact on the flight.

In terms of performance, the aircraft used 7 kg of fuel to complete the flight, which covered a total distance of 4 nm. The flight duration was 17 minutes, indicating a relatively short and efficient flight. Overall, the flight demonstrated the Cessna C172's ability to climb, cruise, and descend efficiently, as well as its capacity for a smooth and controlled landing.

Landing on runway 23 at EDAY Strausberg Airfield in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 66.33 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23 at EDAY Strausberg Airfield, achieving a score of 66.3%. The landing was conducted under local weather conditions with a temperature of 12 °C.

Upon analysis, it appears that the aircraft's threshold height at 130 ft above ground level (agl) was excessively over the target, indicating that the pilot may have descended slightly too late or not utilized the optimal descent rate. However, the threshold speed of 64 kt was only slightly above the target, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively.

The touchdown distance of 15 m was considered good, indicating that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and approach speed. The touchdown speed of 55 kt was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -186 fpm was also good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 4.4 m from the centreline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or alignment with the runway. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was satisfactory, and the landing was considered successful.
