Landing on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 89.9 %

Landing Summary

First and foremost, congratulations on achieving an aircraft landing score of 89.9%! This is a strong performance that reflects the skill and proficiency of the pilot. Your approach phase was particularly commendable, with excellent glide slope alignment. This indicates precise control and awareness of the aircraft's descent angle, which is crucial for a smooth and safe landing.

However, it is important to address the issue of excessive speed during the approach phase. While a fast approach may seem advantageous for a swift landing, it can actually increase the risk of a hard touchdown and compromise safety. It is recommended to closely monitor and adjust your speed to ensure a controlled and stable descent.

Moving on to the landing phase, your threshold height and landing flare were both executed well, contributing to a smooth touchdown. However, there was a noted lack of bank angle stability during landing. Maintaining a steady and level bank angle is essential for a stable and controlled touchdown. This may require more practice and focus on maintaining a consistent angle throughout the landing phase.

In the touchdown phase, it is encouraging to see a smooth touchdown rate. However, the speed was once again too high, which can lead to a harder landing and increased wear on the aircraft. Additionally, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and runway touchdown position being 3.7 meters from the centerline indicates a slight deviation from the ideal landing path. It is advisable to work on improving alignment and positioning to ensure a more precise and accurate touchdown.

Finally, in the rollout phase, the runway alignment was off by 4.3 meters from the centerline. Proper runway alignment is essential for a safe and efficient landing, as it helps to prevent runway excursions and ensures a smooth exit from the runway.

Overall, this feedback is meant to provide constructive criticism and guidance for further improvement. By focusing on areas such as speed control, bank angle stability, alignment, and positioning, you can enhance your landing skills and achieve even higher scores in future assessments. Keep up the good work and continue practicing to refine your techniques and proficiency in aircraft landings. Your dedication and commitment to improvement will surely lead to even greater success in your aviation endeavors.
