The flight began at the Girona-Costa Brava Airport, where the aircraft, a Cessna 172, took off from runway 19. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway was a swift process, covering less than 1 nautical mile in under a minute. The takeoff roll itself was completed on the runway for just 458 meters, accounting for 20% of the runway's total length. At a liftoff speed of 70 knots, the aircraft quickly became airborne and began its ascent into the skies.

En route, the Cessna 172 started its climb overhead the Girona-Costa Brava Airport, rising from 1,408 feet above sea level to 3,906 feet, an increase of 2,498 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of approximately 6 nautical miles. After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft flew a level flight for 18 minutes, covering a total distance of 32 nautical miles. This en route cruise section took place approximately 3 miles west of Sils, a small town in the Catalunya region of Spain.

As the flight continued, the aircraft began its descent into Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, starting from a position about 1 mile south east of la Vila Olimpica del Poblenou. In just 3 minutes, the aircraft descended from 3,109 feet above sea level to 1,343 feet, covering a distance of approximately 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24R was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft headed on a bearing of 242.0 degrees, 2 nautical miles away from the runway.

Upon landing on runway 24R, which is 2,914 meters in length, the aircraft touched down 67 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. Although the landing distance was longer than intended, covering 1,081 meters, or 37% of the runway, the aircraft touched down at 57 knots, which is a good speed for landing. However, the touchdown rate was quite high at -542 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was found to be slightly misaligned from the centreline.

Local weather conditions remained relatively stable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle breeze blowing from the west at 1 knot. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the designated parking area in under 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. In total, the flight covered a distance of 48 nautical miles and utilized 14 kilograms of fuel over a duration of 36 minutes.

Landing on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 74.02 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed on runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, achieving a score of 74.0%. However, the landing had some areas of improvement, particularly in terms of the final approach and touchdown.

As the aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 242.0° at 2 nm and 1,326 ft agl, the threshold height was excessively over target. This may have been due to the pilot's inability to maintain a stable descent rate, leading to a potential loss of control during the landing. Fortunately, the threshold speed was good, reaching 62 kt as required.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 67 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the pilot's misjudgment of the runway length and the aircraft's sink rate. The touchdown speed of 57 kt was within the acceptable range, but the touchdown rate of -542 fpm was very hard, indicating a high rate of descent and potentially putting additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.

Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.8 m from the centreline, which can make steering and control of the aircraft more difficult during the landing roll. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, indicating little to no crosswind or headwind to contend with.

The total landing distance of 1,081 m was 37% of the runway length of 2,914 m, which is within an acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 m from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may not have maintained a smooth and aligned descent during the landing roll.

Overall, while the Cessna C172 landed safely, there are some areas that require improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a steady descent rate and touchdown speed, as well as aligning the runway touchdown and landing roll.
