Landing Score 98.33 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Falcone–Borsellino Airport, with a score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 68.0° at an altitude of 223 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course as it descended onto runway 07, which has a length of 9,844 feet.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touching down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 60 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a smooth touchdown over achieving the exact target speed. The touchdown distance of 955 feet was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 44 knots was also good.

The touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and safely after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 245°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,801 feet was 18% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft as it taxied down the runway after landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
