Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at the Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport (KMPO). The aircraft, a Cessna C172, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 57 knots. The takeoff distance was 350 meters, which accounted for 29% of the available runway length.

As the aircraft entered the local area, it encountered a temperature of -1°C and a wind of 13 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern, entering the circuit from runway 23. The distance covered during the pattern entry was less than 1 nautical mile in 64 seconds.

The pilot then executed a left-hand pattern crosswind turn, which was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it turned at an angle of 61.0° to the runway. The distance covered during the downwind leg was 2 nautical miles in 64 seconds.

The pilot then initiated the base leg turn, which was completed in 1 nautical mile at an angle of 61.7° to the runway. The base leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 44 seconds. The final turn was executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 32 seconds, and the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 219.0° at an altitude of 137 feet above ground level.

The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 1,206 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 62 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. However, the touchdown speed of 34 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -150 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 661 meters, which accounted for 55% of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.

The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 23 at KMPO Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport in the Cessna 172
Landing Score 95.16 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KMPO Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with the runway 23 heading of 219.0°. At an altitude of 137 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway, the aircraft was in a stable position for landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway 23, which has a length of 1,206 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 62 knots. However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly high or slow on final approach, resulting in a longer than ideal touchdown distance.

Despite the slightly long touchdown point, the touchdown speed of 34 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -150 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 661 meters was 55% of the available runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.2%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown point and speed management to achieve a more optimal landing performance.
