The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Longitude, then departed from runway 07 at the Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (MZBZ) in Belize City, Belize. The takeoff distance was 611 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 45,692 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 127 nautical miles and took 20 minutes to complete, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 44,634 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 100 minutes and covered a distance of 787 nautical miles. This phase took place 3 miles northwest of the MM55 Carrillo Puerto Carrillo Puerto airport in Mexico. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 4 miles south of the Opelika airport in Alabama, United States. The descent took the aircraft down from an altitude of 44,803 feet to 2,248 feet above sea level, a decrease of 42,555 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 21L at the DeKalb Peachtree Airport (KPDK) was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 201.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 1,525 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 115 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 79 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 113 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -269 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 257 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 849 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The total flight distance was 1,020 nautical miles, and the flight took 152 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,045 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 21L at KPDK DeKalb Peachtree Airport in the Cessna Longitude

Landing Score 96.61 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Longitude successfully landed on runway 21L at KPDK DeKalb Peachtree Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 201.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 115 knots, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown distance of 79 meters was considered good, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 113 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -269 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable approach and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 257°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft.

The total landing distance of 849 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a stable rollout. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score and demonstrating good control over the aircraft.
