A Boeing C-17 departed from a location near Cotswold Airport, Kemble, in Gloucestershire, England, initiating its enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 436 feet above sea level to 616 feet, a vertical gain of 180 feet, within a 2-minute period, covering a horizontal distance of approximately 2 nautical miles. This climb phase set the stage for the aircraft's subsequent maneuvers.
As the C-17 approached runway 08 at Cotswold Airport from the west, it maintained a heading of 95.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the threshold. At an altitude of 192 feet above ground level, the aircraft began its final approach, positioning itself for a smooth touchdown. The threshold speed of 48 knots was well below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling. The aircraft successfully landed on the 1,618-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 233 meters and a speed of 43 knots. The touchdown rate of -66 feet per minute was exceptional, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were negligible, at 0 and 1 knots, respectively. Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect runway rollout alignment, covering a total distance of 604 meters, which represented 37% of the runway length.
