Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The aircraft was at an altitude of 251 feet above ground level and was 1 nautical mile from the runway. The local weather conditions had changed slightly, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind of 3 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.

The landing was executed smoothly, with a threshold speed of 37 knots, well below the target speed to avoid stalling. The touchdown distance was 126 meters, and the touchdown speed was 34 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -15 feet per minute, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 428 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight used 0 kilograms of fuel, a testament to the efficiency of the aircraft and the pilot's skill.

Landing Summary

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.
