Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at Saanen Airfield (LSGK), a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance covered 596 meters, which was 77% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 70 knots, marking the start of its journey.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead Saanen in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 3,681 feet above sea level to 4,876 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This impressive climb showcased the aircraft's capabilities.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting for 3 minutes and covering another 3 nautical miles. This steady cruise phase allowed the aircraft to maintain a consistent speed and altitude, ensuring a smooth journey.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 14 at Sankt Stephan Airfield (LSTS). The approach was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 136.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. At an altitude of 574 feet above ground level, the aircraft prepared for landing.

The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 58 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, covering just 45 meters. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 12.3 meters.

The aircraft's rollout after landing was also slightly misaligned, by 11.5 meters from the centreline. Despite this, the total landing distance was a mere 86 meters, which was just 9% of the runway length. The aircraft's performance was impressive, considering the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and no wind.

In the end, the flight covered a total distance of 8 nautical miles, using 3 kilograms of fuel in the process. The flight was a testament to the Cessna C172's capabilities, showcasing its ability to perform well in various conditions.

Landing on runway 14 at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield in the Cessna 172
Landing Score 92.52 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield, achieving a score of 92.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 136.0° at 1 nautical mile and 574 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 14, which has a length of 917 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 60 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 45 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 58 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute (fpm).

One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 12.3 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 8°C and no wind, resulting in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots.

The total landing distance was 86 meters, which is only 9% of the runway length. This indicates a short and controlled landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown misalignment.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with speed and alignment. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth touchdown rate and short landing distance. However, there is room for improvement in terms of achieving the target threshold speed and maintaining a more accurate alignment during the rollout phase.
