Landing on runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport in the Cessna 152

Landing Score 97.92 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed on runway 34L at YSSY Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 345.0° at 0 nm and 93 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 48 kt, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown point was 84 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 36 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The touchdown rate of -73 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for a safe and efficient landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.

The total landing distance of 641 m was 17% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well within the acceptable parameters. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were showcased during this landing, and the high score of 97.9% is a reflection of this.
