Departing from the Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire, England, the aircraft began its enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 442 feet above sea level to 566 feet asl over a distance of 3 nautical miles in 2 minutes, achieving a net gain of 125 feet. This initial climb phase set the stage for a smooth and controlled approach to runway 08.
As the aircraft transitioned into the final approach phase, it aligned itself with the runway from the west, maintaining a heading of 80.0° at an altitude of 144 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, with the threshold speed exceeding the target value at 62 knots. The touchdown point was located 56 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 43 knots and a rate of descent of 16 feet per minute, both of which were within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the approach.
The landing was completed on the 1,618-meter runway, with a total landing distance of 675 meters, accounting for 42% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating a high level of control and stability during the post-landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment, facilitating a smooth and controlled approach and landing.
