Landing on runway 19 at N07 Lincoln Park Airport in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 70.87 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at N07 Lincoln Park Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The aircraft's final approach to runway 19 from the north was executed at a heading of 157.0°, with a distance of 0 nm and an altitude of 390 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot's ability to maintain a good threshold height is a positive aspect of the landing.

However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 87 kt, which is above the recommended speed for landing. This could have been a result of the pilot's inexperience or a miscalculation of the aircraft's speed. The touchdown point was also very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot may have been too high or too fast on final approach, resulting in a longer than necessary landing distance.

The touchdown speed of 68 kt was also faster than recommended, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. The touchdown rate of -229 fpm was fair, but could be improved upon. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27 °C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 324°. The crosswind component was 5 kt, while the tailwind component was 9 kt. The total landing distance of 592 m was 98% of the available runway, which is a relatively long distance.

Despite the areas for improvement, the pilot's ability to maintain a very good runway rollout alignment is a positive aspect of the landing. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are opportunities for the pilot to improve their technique and reduce the landing distance.
