This flight was aboard a Cessna Skyhawk, an aircraft renowned for its reliability and ease of handling. The journey began from Lamezia Terme Airport in Licia, Calabria, Italy. As the aircraft prepared for takeoff, it lifted off the ground from a spot about 1 mile west of the airport, situated at an elevation of 622 feet above sea level.

Initially, the aircraft climbed from the same elevation of 622 feet, but with no noticeable increase in altitude over a span of 1 minute. This brief climb was quickly followed by a short cruise at a similar altitude, also covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile over 3 minutes.

Subsequently, the aircraft began a more substantial climb, this time from 622 to 4,103 feet above sea level, an increase of approximately 3,481 feet over 7 minutes. This climb phase spanned a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a period of cruising at 4,096 feet above sea level, which lasted for 62 minutes as it covered an impressive 124 nautical miles.

The aircraft started its descent phase about 1 mile west of Termini, Campania, Italy. Over 3 minutes, it descended from 4,096 to 1,953 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,144 feet. This rapid descent covered an 8-nautical-mile distance. Following the descent, the aircraft entered a brief cruise phase about 5 miles southwest of Torre del Greco, Campania, Italy, which lasted 7 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the end of its journey, it began the final approach to runway 24 at Naples International Airport (LIRN) from a direction roughly northeast. During this final approach, the aircraft was at a heading of 241.0 degrees and at an altitude of 906 feet above ground level, with a distance of 2 nautical miles remaining to the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft smoothly touched down on runway 24, which measured 2,043 meters in length. While the aircraft approached its ideal threshold height, the speed was slightly above target at 64 knots, which might have required some adjustments by the pilot.

The performance of the landing was overall satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 183 meters. However, the touchdown speed, measured at 58 knots, was a bit fast, indicating that some measures might have been taken by the pilot to slow the aircraft down.

A significant aspect of the landing performance was the touchdown rate, which was an impressive -78 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating the smoothness of the landing. Although the aircraft touched down slightly off-centerline, the misalignment of 6.9 meters did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft during landing.

Further analysis revealed that the local weather conditions during the landing were ideal, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind speed, meanwhile, was a negligible 1 knot.

The aircraft's overall flight performance was characterized by a total distance traveled of 155 nautical miles over a duration of 1 hour and 21 minutes, accompanied by the usage of 55 kilograms of fuel.

Takeoff on runway at in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing on runway 24 at LIRN Naples International Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 97.6 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LIRN Naples International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The aircraft made its final approach to runway 24 from the north-east, heading 241.0°, at 2 nautical miles and 906 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the pilot demonstrated good control, touching down on the runway threshold at a speed of 64 knots, slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown speed of 58 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to apply more braking force to reduce the speed. Despite this, the touchdown rate was excellent at -78 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 6.9 metres. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and wind speeds of 2 knots from 270°, were relatively calm, resulting in a crosswind of only 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the slightly off-centre touchdown.

The aircraft's touchdown distance of 183 metres was within acceptable limits, and the total landing distance of 339 metres accounted for only 17% of the runway length. This is a good indication of the pilot's control and ability to manage the descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and straight path after touchdown. Overall, this landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and situational awareness.
