The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18R at YLIL Lilydale Airport. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 293 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots, and the aircraft was able to lift off the ground quickly.

As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it followed a right-hand pattern entry from runway 18R. The distance covered during this phase was less than 1 nautical mile in 70 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds.

The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, which involved a turn of 45 degrees at an angle of 68.1 degrees. The distance covered during this phase was 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 34 seconds.

Next, the pilot executed a pattern base leg turn, which involved another turn of 45 degrees at an angle of 68.7 degrees. The distance covered during this phase was 1 nautical mile. The base leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds.

The final turn was executed, and the aircraft began its final approach to runway 18R from the north, heading 190.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 149 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 48 knots, which was well below the target speed to avoid stalling.

The aircraft landed on runway 18R, which had a length of 1,324 meters. The touchdown distance was good at 82 meters, and the touchdown speed was 44 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -290 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from 187 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight used 3 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 18R at YLIL Lilydale Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 97.82 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at YLIL Lilydale Airport, achieving a score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 190.0° at an altitude of 149 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach to runway 18R.

Upon reaching the threshold, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed, keeping it well below the target threshold speed of 48 knots. This was a crucial aspect of the landing, as it prevented the aircraft from stalling and ensured a safe touchdown. The pilot's control and precision were evident in this aspect of the landing.

The touchdown distance of 82 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had effectively controlled the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 44 knots was also within acceptable limits, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. However, the touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the aircraft's descent more efficiently.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor miscalculation during the approach. Nevertheless, the pilot's overall performance was impressive, and the landing was considered safe and successful.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots from 187°. The crosswind was negligible, and the pilot was able to maintain a steady course throughout the approach. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at YLIL Lilydale Airport was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and the aircraft's reliability and performance.
