The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 07 at the Falcone–Borsellino Airport, LICJ. The takeoff distance was 323 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 56 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 245 degrees.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, which involved a turn from the runway 07 at LICJ Falcone–Borsellino Airport. The distance covered during this turn was less than 1 nautical mile in 60 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg of the pattern, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 85 seconds. The base leg turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 43.6 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The final turn was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in just 4 seconds.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 07 at LICJ Falcone–Borsellino Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 64.0 degrees and an altitude of 387 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 457 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was also good at 49 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.8 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 244 degrees.

Landing on runway 07 at LICJ Falcone–Borsellino Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 75.85 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07 at Falcone-Borsellino Airport (LICJ) with a score of 75.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 64.0° at an altitude of 387 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft's approach to the runway was generally good, with a threshold speed of 63 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 457 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the touchdown speed of 49 knots was slightly lower than the typical range, but still within the acceptable limits.

One area for improvement was the touchdown rate, which was fair at -238 feet per minute (fpm). A more optimal touchdown rate would have been closer to -200 fpm, which would have resulted in a smoother landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a slight crosswind component.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 244°. The crosswind component was negligible, but there was a slight tailwind of 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the touchdown position.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and alignment. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the successful completion of the landing, but some adjustments may be necessary to achieve a higher score in the future.
