The flight began with the Sirius aircraft departing from runway 20 at EGKA Brighton City Airport. The takeoff distance was 132 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 53 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled ascent. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 20 at EGKA Brighton City Airport. The entry was swift, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 10 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed efficiently, with the aircraft completing the maneuver in under 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a bit longer, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile, and was characterized by an angle to the runway of 136.6 degrees.

The final approach to runway 20 at EGKA Brighton City Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 177.0 degrees at an altitude of 57.8 meters above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target, reaching 62 knots. However, the touchdown point was somewhat long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 45 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -0.4 meters per second was excellent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were identical to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind was 0 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed on runway 20 at EGKA Brighton City Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 177.0° at an altitude of 57.8 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 87.6%.

The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 758 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 62 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a more stable approach.

The touchdown point was significantly long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly high or had a longer than expected landing roll. The touchdown speed of 45 knots was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -0.4 meters per second was also excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, and there was no headwind component.

Overall, the Sirius aircraft demonstrated a good performance during the landing, with some areas for improvement. The pilot's ability to maintain a stable speed and a smooth touchdown rate was commendable, and with some adjustments to the approach configuration and alignment, the aircraft's performance could be further optimized.
