The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12L at KBFL Meadows Field in Bakersfield, California. The aircraft, a Cessna C182, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 61 knots. The takeoff distance was 284 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway length.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 36 degrees Celsius and a wind of 5 knots at 339 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 530 feet above sea level to 9,672 feet, an increase of 9,142 feet in just 16 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 18 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles northeast of Edmundson Acres. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Tehachapi. The descent from 9,760 feet to 3,780 feet took 7 minutes and covered 15 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Mojave. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles southeast of KMHV Mojave Airport. The descent from 3,722 feet to 3,131 feet took 2 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 26 at KMHV Mojave Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 273.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 343 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 2,141 meters long. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above target at 65 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 345 meters, and the touchdown speed was 54 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 31 degrees Celsius and a wind of 10 knots at 300 degrees, with a crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind component of 9 knots.

The total landing distance was 472 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.

Takeoff on runway 12L at KBFL Meadows Field in the Cessna C182

Landing on runway 26 at KMHV Mojave Airport in the Cessna C182

Landing Score 97.05 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at KMHV Mojave Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 273.0° at 1 nm and 343 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 2,141 meters.

The threshold height at 57 ft agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. Similarly, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 65 kt, suggesting a slightly faster approach than desired. However, the touchdown distance of 345 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 54 kt was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate of -65 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the approach path in future landings.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 10 kt from 300°. The crosswind component was 5 kt, while the headwind component was 9 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach.

The total landing distance of 472 meters was 22% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short period of time. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with only minor deviations from the ideal approach path.
