The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 10 at L88 New Cuyama, a small airport in California, United States. The takeoff distance was 618 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 46 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and 8-knot tailwind. The enroute climb started 2 miles southeast of L88 New Cuyama and continued for 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles and increasing the altitude from 2,933 feet above sea level to 4,696 feet. This climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 35 minutes and covered 65 nautical miles.
The enroute cruise phase started 1 mile north of New Cuyama and continued until the aircraft began its descent 2 miles northeast of Cayucos, California. The descent from 4,539 feet to 2,056 feet took 5 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off 2 miles east of Cambria, California, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. Another descent phase started 1 mile east of 66CA Rancho San Simeon Airport, and the aircraft descended from 2,056 feet to 1,197 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at CN66 Hearst San Simeon Airstrip was made from the southeast, with a heading of 310.0° at 3 nautical miles and 987 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 212 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 51 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions during the landing phase were 13°C temperature and 7-knot headwind. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 91 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 57 minutes. The aircraft used 34 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at the CN66 Hearst San Simeon Airstrip, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 33 was initiated from the south east, heading 310.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 987 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 59 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively. The touchdown distance of 212 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 51 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -148 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant shock or jolt. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustment in the pilot's approach and landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 281°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 447 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing a safe and controlled landing.
