The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport. The takeoff distance was 467 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 79 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 266 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of Altenholz, Germany, and ascended from an altitude of 641 feet above sea level to 998 feet above sea level, an increase of 357 feet, in just 1 minute while covering 2 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Monkeberg, Germany, and lasted for 17 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 260.0 degrees at an altitude of 215 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 195 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly too fast, and the touchdown rate of -266 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 263 degrees.

The total landing distance was 559 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 5 minutes to taxi back to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 26 minutes. The aircraft used approximately 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 95.85 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 260.0° at 0 nm and 215 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 26, which has a length of 1,035 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 76 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed than necessary during the approach, which could have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown distance was good at 195 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the runway length.

However, the touchdown speed was too fast at 70 knots. This could have resulted in a higher touchdown rate, which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. The touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute (fpm), which is a moderate rate that may have been influenced by the aircraft's speed.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a consistent and accurate approach path. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 263°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more straightforward.

The total landing distance was 559 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. This is a reasonable distance, considering the aircraft's speed and the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and accuracy during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a lower threshold speed and touchdown speed to reduce the stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
