Monitor your taxi speed
See Departure Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LEAL Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport. This process took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 28 was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 711 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 67 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 270°. The enroute climb started 3 miles west of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,294 feet above sea level to 5,666 feet, an increase of 4,372 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south of Alguena, where it maintained a steady altitude for 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 6,145 feet to 7,376 feet, an increase of 1,232 feet in 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with a notable level cruise phase starting 7 miles west of Alguena, lasting 1324 minutes, and covering 65 nautical miles. Another climb phase started 5 miles east of Segura de la Sierra, where the aircraft ascended from 8,439 feet to 9,414 feet, an increase of 974 feet in 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase overhead Segura de la Sierra, lasting 67 minutes, and covering 127 nautical miles. However, this was followed by a descent phase, starting 1 mile north-east of Canada Rosal, where the aircraft descended from 9,624 feet to 2,018 feet, a decrease of 7,606 feet in 10 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to descend, with a notable level cruise phase starting overhead Carmona, lasting 2 minutes, and covering 3 nautical miles. Another descent phase started 2 miles north-east of El Viso del Alcor, where the aircraft descended from 2,238 feet to 1,488 feet, a decrease of 751 feet in 3 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at LEZL Sevilla Airport was smooth, with the aircraft heading 269.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,384 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 424 meters, a touchdown speed of 54 knots, and a smooth touchdown rate of -123 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 15°C temperature and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 269°.
The total landing distance was 778 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 263 nautical miles, taking 152 minutes, and used 83 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LEZL Sevilla Airport, achieving a score of 95.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,384 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 66 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient time to react and adjust the aircraft's speed before touching down. The touchdown distance of 424 meters was also within acceptable limits, showcasing the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
The touchdown speed of 54 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down to a safe speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -123 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's descent and avoided any sudden drops or jolts.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had accurately aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure a safe and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 2 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 778 meters was 23% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and speed to minimize the landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had successfully brought the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at LEZL Sevilla Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
