Departing from Motu Mute Airport, a Cessna Skyhawk initiated its enroute climb, commencing 1 mile north of the airport. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 900 ft above sea level to 114 ft asl, achieving a vertical gain of 786 ft over a period of 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a horizontal distance of approximately 4 nautical miles. The aircraft's performance during this phase demonstrated a satisfactory rate of climb.
As the aircraft approached the final approach to landing ground BR02, it descended from an altitude of 101 ft above ground level to 0 ft agl. This descent phase, which lasted 17 seconds, resulted in a decrease of 45 ft in altitude. The touchdown speed of 71 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold, but the touchdown rate of -123 fpm was smooth. The touchdown point was located at the far end of the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 60 °F, with a wind speed of 6 kt from 270 °, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a tailwind of 5 kt.
Following touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, covering a distance of 1,520 ft. The taxiing phase to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Notably, the total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.

The final approach to landing ground BR02 was initiated from 1 nm out, with the aircraft descending from 101 ft above ground level (agl) to 45 ft agl before beginning its final descent. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth and controlled descent from 45 ft agl to 0 ft agl in 17 seconds, resulting in a descent rate of 2.65 ft/s. However, the touchdown speed of 71 kt was above the recommended threshold speed, indicating a slight over-rotation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a smooth touchdown rate of -123 fpm, but the touchdown point was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to arrest the aircraft's descent in a timely manner, resulting in a longer than desired rollout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60 °F and a 6 kt headwind, contributed to a relatively calm environment, but the 5 kt tailwind may have affected the aircraft's performance.
The landing rollout was completed in 1,520 ft, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 0 ft above sea level. While the rollout distance was within acceptable limits, the overall performance of the approach and touchdown phases resulted in a score of 57.0%. This score reflects the need for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point location, as well as the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and rollout.
