Arrival Rollout

A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06 at FNSO Soyo Airport, where the Cessna C172 took off with a takeoff distance of 792 meters, which was 37% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 78 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 39 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.

After departing from Soyo, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of Soio, Zaire, Angola. This phase of the flight lasted for 156 minutes and covered a distance of 240 nautical miles. The aircraft then began an enroute climb, which started 35 miles east of FN19 Cabo Ledo Air Base, Cabo Ledo, Bengo Province, Angola. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,551 feet above sea level to 2,551 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,000 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise, which started 35 miles southeast of FN19 Cabo Ledo Air Base, Cabo Ledo, Benguela, Angola. This phase of the flight lasted for 117 minutes and covered a distance of 185 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to landing, which started 30 miles southwest of FNBG Benguela 17th of September Airport, Benguela, Angola. During this approach, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,955 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level, a decrease of 48 feet in just 8 seconds.

The aircraft touched down at a speed of 47 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute, and the touchdown distance was good at 205 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 284 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.

After touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, which lasted for a distance of 121 meters. The aircraft landed at an altitude of 9 feet above sea level. Finally, the total flight distance was 431 nautical miles, which was covered in a total flight time of 280 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 109 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway XX at 30 miles south west of FNBG Benguela 17th of September Airport Benguela (Benguela, Angola) in the Cessna C172
Landing Score 69.6 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully completed a landing at the 17th of September Airport Benguela, located in Benguela, Angola. The final approach to landing began at an altitude of 1,955 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile (nm) from the airport, with the aircraft descending to a height of 48 feet agl before touching down.

The descent from 48 feet agl to 0 feet agl was completed in a relatively short period of 8 seconds, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown speed of 47 knots was considered good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. However, the touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.

The touchdown distance of 205 meters was deemed good, indicating that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent to achieve a safe and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 284 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.

Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 9 feet above sea level (asl). The distance covered during the rollout was 121 meters, indicating a relatively short and controlled period of deceleration.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
