Landing on runway 25 at FMAD Ambodiatafa Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 98.91 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at FMAD Ambodiatafa Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 236.0° at an altitude of 266 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 64 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 269 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 51 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.6 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique to achieve a more precise alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 321°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging.

The total landing distance of 492 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a short distance. The slight misalignment from the centreline and the slightly below-target threshold speed were minor issues that did not affect the overall outcome of the landing.
