The Edgley Optica aircraft took off from Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) on runway 06. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll, which lasted for a short duration before it lifted off the ground at a speed of 59 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 59 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft's takeoff distance was 107 meters, which accounted for 5% of the runway length.

After takeoff, the Edgley Optica entered a left-hand pattern, beginning with a turn from runway 06. The distance covered during this turn was less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The aircraft then continued with the pattern, executing a left-hand crosswind turn that covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 42 seconds.

The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 201 seconds. The base leg turn was also executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The base leg itself covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 31 seconds.

The final turn was executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 43 seconds, and the aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 from the north-east, heading 240 degrees at an altitude of 383 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 24 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 39 knots and a distance of 207 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth at -124 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 60 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 343 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 9 nautical miles and lasted for 13 minutes, using 5 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 24 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport in the Edgley Optica

Landing Score 98.63 %

Landing Summary

The Edgley Optica successfully landed at Edinburgh Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 240.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 383 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 24, which has a length of 2,132 meters.

The aircraft's final approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touching down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 46 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to slow down before touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 207 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 39 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot managed to absorb the impact of touchdown effectively.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a straight and level approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 9°C and a light wind of 3 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly below-target threshold speed.

The total landing distance of 343 meters was only 16% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot managed to stop the aircraft quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Edgley Optica's landing at Edinburgh Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
