The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at N94 Carlisle, where the Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 47 meters, which accounted for only 4% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 57 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 28 at N94 Carlisle, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn from the same runway was completed in 27 seconds, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 99.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 86 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was another 1 nautical mile long, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 4.0 degrees to the runway. The final approach to runway 28 at N94 Carlisle was made from the east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 272.0 degrees and an altitude of 403 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 49 knots and a distance of 127 meters. The touchdown rate was a smooth -139 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to complete, and consumed 2 kilograms of fuel. The pilot's skill and control were evident throughout the flight, from the smooth takeoff to the controlled landing.

Landing on runway 28 at N94 Carlisle in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 95.5 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at N94 Carlisle, achieving a score of 95.5%. The aircraft's final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, heading 272.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 403 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady heading and altitude throughout the descent.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient altitude to maintain control and avoid any potential obstacles. The threshold speed of 58 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down to a safe speed before touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 127 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft and avoided any excessive drift or deviation from the centerline. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 49 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down to a safe speed before touchdown.

The touchdown rate of -139 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had managed to control the aircraft's descent and avoid any sudden or jarring movements. This is particularly important for passenger safety, as a smooth touchdown can help to reduce the risk of injury or discomfort.

In terms of runway alignment, the aircraft's touchdown was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady heading and avoided any excessive drift or deviation from the centerline. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it can help to ensure that the aircraft remains on the runway and avoids any potential obstacles or hazards.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This suggests that the pilot had to contend with a very light headwind, which would have made the landing slightly more challenging. However, the pilot's skills and experience were sufficient to overcome this challenge and achieve a successful landing.
