Landing on runway 13 at EDLN Mönchengladbach Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 94.98 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDLN Mönchengladbach Airport, achieving a high score of 95.0%. The final approach to runway 13 was conducted from the north-west, with the aircraft heading at 128.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 519 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, resulting in a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 61 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft covered a distance of 176 meters, which is well within the acceptable range for a Cessna C172. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down smoothly and efficiently. The touchdown rate of -125 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled descent throughout the approach.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained the correct heading and alignment with the runway during the approach. This is a critical aspect of landing safely, as it ensures that the aircraft is properly aligned with the runway and can be stopped safely.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C. This suggests that the pilot had to contend with standard atmospheric conditions, which can affect the performance of the aircraft. However, the pilot's skills and experience were sufficient to overcome any challenges posed by the weather, resulting in a safe and successful landing.
