The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at EGCW Welshpool Airport, achieving a score of 91.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 23.0° at 1 nautical mile and 251 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 04, which has a length of 808 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 37 knots was well below the target, indicating that the pilot was cautious to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 126 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 34 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -15 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.2 meters off the centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind and tailwind conditions, which were relatively light at 1 and 2 knots, respectively. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind direction of 230°.
The total landing distance of 428 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases.
