The flight began with a departure roll from runway 32 at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip, where the Van's RV-8 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 50 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 253 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 32, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated with ease, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 3 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining an angle of 65.1 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was completed in under 1 nautical mile in 35 seconds.

The base leg turn was also executed with accuracy, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and maintaining an angle of 34.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg was completed in under 1 nautical mile in 9 seconds, and the final turn was completed in under 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The final approach to runway 32 was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 324.0 degrees at an altitude of 187 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 32 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 62 knots, which was slightly faster than the threshold speed of 65 knots. The touchdown distance was 49 meters, and the touchdown rate was -164 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 243 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight took 19 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed with precision and control, with the pilot navigating the aircraft through various phases of flight with ease.

Landing on runway 32 at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip in the Van's RV-8

Landing Score 97.62 %

Landing Summary

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 324.0° at 0 nm and 187 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.

The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 65 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and control during the approach. The touchdown distance of 49 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.

However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was good, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 253°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain good control and alignment during the rollout, with the runway rollout alignment being described as "very good".

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and rollout. However, there were a few areas for improvement, which can be addressed through further training and practice.
