The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at Saanen Airfield (LSGK), a Cessna C182 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance covered 74% of the runway, with a liftoff speed of 70 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were mild, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269°.

As the aircraft climbed away from Saanen, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 3,839 feet above sea level to 5,131 feet. This increase in altitude of 1,292 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, setting the aircraft up for its next phase of flight.

The enroute descent began 2 miles southwest of Zweisimmen, with the aircraft descending from 5,131 feet to 3,558 feet. This decrease in altitude of 1,573 feet was achieved in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent was another well-executed phase of the flight, bringing the aircraft back down to a lower altitude.

The final approach to runway 14 at Sankt Stephan Airfield (LSTS) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 137.0° at 1 nautical mile and 244 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the 917-meter runway, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 67 knots.

However, the touchdown speed of 66 knots was slightly excessive, and the touchdown distance of 43 meters was a bit longer than ideal. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -107 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269°.

The total landing distance was 1,072 meters, which was 117% of the runway length. Despite the slightly excessive touchdown speed, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight used 3 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with a smooth and efficient climb, descent, and landing.

Landing on runway 14 at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield in the Cessna C182

Landing Score 82.79 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield, achieving an overall score of 82.8%. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 137.0° at 1 nautical mile and 244 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 66 knots, which was excessively fast. However, the touchdown distance of 43 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -107 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's energy during the landing.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.6 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the final stages of the approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,072 meters was 117% of the runway length, which is slightly above average but still within acceptable limits.

Overall, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, but could improve their touchdown speed and alignment with the centreline.
