The flight began with the GA-8 Airvan Commuter N13AV, departing from runway 03 at EGNS Isle of Man Airport, completing a runway roll of 90 meters. The aircraft reached its liftoff speed of 68 knots, with a relatively short takeoff distance, covering just 8% of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure and landing were mild, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from 270 degrees, resulting in a very small crosswind effect and a minimal tailwind influence. This favorable weather situation likely played a part in the ease and safety of the flight.
The enroute climb from Isle of Man Airport involved a gradual ascent from 222 feet above sea level to 990 feet, increasing by 769 feet over a distance of 2 nautical miles within just one minute.
Following this brief climb, the aircraft entered a cruise leg that lasted for three minutes and covered 4 nautical miles at a steady altitude.
In preparation for landing, the aircraft began its descent from 1,185 feet above sea level to 356 feet, with a descent of 830 feet occurring over a distance of 3 nautical miles in a span of two minutes. The enroute descent was executed from over the town of Douglas, Isle of Man.
Upon reaching EGZW Mount Rule Farm Airstrip, the aircraft initiated its final approach from the east, targeting runway 28. Maintaining a heading of 272.0 degrees at an altitude of 40 feet, the aircraft then touched down on the runway, landing at a speed of 54 knots and covering a touchdown distance of 94 meters.
The landing speed was just below the target value, but the touchdown rate was spot on at 66 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown point was slightly misaligned with the centreline by 5.7 meters, the overall landing performance was strong.
Subsequently, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft taxiing quickly from the runway to its designated parking area. The entire flight distance of 9 nautical miles consumed only 8 minutes, utilizing approximately 1 kilogram of fuel.

Report - Aircraft GA-8 Airvan Commuter N13AV Landing at EGZW Mount Rule Farm Airstrip
The aircraft, GA-8 Airvan Commuter N13AV, successfully landed at EGZW Mount Rule Farm Airstrip with a reported score of 92.3%. The landing was conducted from the east, with a final approach path aligned with runway 28 at a heading of 272.0°, initially at 0 feet above ground level (agl) and 40 feet agl. The aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, providing a clear and visual approach to the runway.
The aircraft performed well in terms of touchdown distance, coming in at 94 meters. This distance not only met the requirements but also indicated that the pilot's technique allowed for a safe margin, reducing the risk of any potential runway excursion. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 54 knots was well within the target range, signifying the pilot's ability to smoothly control the aircraft's descent. Moreover, the touchdown rate of 66 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, ensuring that the aircraft absorbed the impact of touchdown effectively, minimizing any stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
A minor misalignment was observed in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 5.7 meters off-centerline. However, this deviation did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall performance of the landing. This could be attributed to the pilot's skill in handling the aircraft and adjusting for any deviations, ensuring that the landing was still safe and stable.
The local weather conditions played a significant role in the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and wind speeds of 2 knots at 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind, with a negligible headwind of 2 kts, which contributed to the smooth landing performance. These conditions, combined with the pilot's skill, allowed for a very good runway rollout alignment.
The total landing distance recorded was 340 meters, which accounted for approximately 62% of the runway length. This demonstrates that the landing was well-managed by the pilot and that the aircraft was under control at all times. Overall, the aircraft achieved a successful landing, showcasing the pilot's expertise in handling the GA-8 Airvan Commuter N13AV.
