The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at LFAW Villerupt Aerodrome. The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 31 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 58 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.

As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 184 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both zero, providing a relatively calm environment for the flight. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the aerodrome in a counterclockwise direction. The distance covered during the pattern entry was less than 1 nautical mile in 37 seconds.

The pilot continued to follow the standard pattern, executing a left-hand pattern crosswind turn. This maneuver was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it turned to a heading of 240 degrees, aligning itself with the runway. The distance covered during this leg was 1 nautical mile in 169 seconds.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, it turned to a heading of 45 degrees, which is the standard angle for this phase of the pattern. The distance covered during this turn was 1 nautical mile. The pilot then began the final approach to runway 25, descending from an altitude of 437 feet above ground level (agl) at a heading of 240 degrees.

The landing was executed on runway 25, which had a length of 479 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 60 knots, at 60 knots. However, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was also a little fast, at 59 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 4.9 meters. The local weather conditions during the landing were similar to those encountered during the departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 183 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both zero.

The total landing distance was 517 meters, which accounted for 108% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 9.1 meters. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 1 minute.

The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25 at LFAW Villerupt Aerodrome in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 80.93 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LFAW Villerupt Aerodrome, achieving an overall score of 80.9%. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the north east, heading 240.0° at 1 nm and 437 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 479 m.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 60 kn. This indicates that the pilot may have been a bit cautious during the approach. The touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available length. This could be attributed to the pilot's decision to touch down at a speed of 59 kn, which was a bit fast. The touchdown rate of -261 fpm was considered fair.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 0 kn at 183°. There was no crosswind or headwind to affect the landing.

The total landing distance was 517 m, which is 108% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot could have used a shorter landing distance with a more optimal approach and touchdown speed. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation during the rollout.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment. With some adjustments to the approach and touchdown technique, the pilot could achieve a more optimal landing performance.
