A Cessna Skyhawk aircraft departed from runway 30L at Karpathos Airport (LGKP) on the Greek island of Karpathos. The takeoff was successful, reaching a liftoff speed of 74 kt and covering the required 693 m, which is 33% of the runway's length.
The local weather conditions at departure provided a favorable environment, with a temperature of 16 °C and a moderate headwind. As the aircraft lifted off, it began to climb steeply, reaching a level of 2,311 ft asl in just 2 minutes and a distance of 2 nm. This initial climb brought the aircraft to a comfortable cruising altitude, where it would remain for the majority of the flight.
The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 1,378 minutes and covered a distance of 204 nm. During this period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude, allowing for efficient fuel consumption and a smooth journey.
However, the descent phase of the flight was more dynamic, as the aircraft began to lose altitude and speed. A series of descents were undertaken, with the most significant decrease in altitude occurring between 13 miles and 6 miles south of Kithira Airport (LGKC). Here, the aircraft lost 1,084 ft in just 2 minutes, descending from 3,984 ft asl to 2,900 ft asl.
The approach to runway 02 at LGKC was initiated 3 nm from the threshold, heading 25.0 ° at an altitude of 1,188 ft agl. Despite a tailwind, the aircraft landed successfully, touching down at a speed of 58 kt and covering a distance of 338 m. While the touchdown speed was slightly fast, the actual landing distance was well within the expected range, taking up only 40% of the runway.
The final segment of the flight involved taxiing from the runway to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 223 nm, lasting 1,378 minutes and consuming approximately 87 kg of fuel. This demonstrates a high degree of efficiency and control throughout the flight, with a well-executed series of takeoffs, climbs, cruises, descents, and landings that ultimately led to a successful and safe conclusion.

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LGKC Kithira Airport's runway 02. The aircraft began its final approach from the southwest, heading 25.0° at an altitude of 1,188 ft (363 meters) above ground level (agl), approximately 3 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft navigated through a mild local wind, with a temperature of 15°C and a moderate tailwind of 1 kt.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the pilot maintained a speed well above the target of 69 kt, indicating a safe margin for deceleration before touchdown. The landing distance from the threshold to the point of touchdown was relatively short at 338 meters, showcasing the pilot's control and finesse in navigating the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown speed at 58 kt was slightly higher than desired, suggesting that a minor adjustment in approach parameters may have been necessary to achieve a smoother touchdown.
Notably, the pilot achieved an excellent touchdown rate of -62 ft/min (fpm), which indicates a gentle rate of descent during touchdown. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's awareness of aircraft alignment during the critical post-landing phase.
Although the aircraft landed slightly off-centerline by 5.8 meters from the centerline, the deviation was minor and did not affect the overall safety or smoothness of the landing. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's successful landing at LGKC Kithira Airport reflects the pilot's skill and experience in navigating challenging landing conditions. The landing scored a commendable 98.5%.
