The flight began with a takeoff from a location near Newcastle upon Tyne, England, with the aircraft, an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, climbing from an initial altitude of 256 feet above sea level. The enroute climb was initiated overhead Dinnington, and it reached a maximum altitude of 1,022 feet above sea level, an increase of 766 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, which started overhead Ponteland in Northumberland, England. This phase of the flight lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25 at Newcastle Airport, flying from the north-east with a heading of 246.0 degrees at an altitude of 234 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 25 was executed with good results, with a touchdown distance of 323 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 31 knots was slightly faster than ideal, and the threshold speed was too high at 49 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -3 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of the flight included a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 4 nautical miles, taking a total of 7 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed a total of -12 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a pioneering aircraft, successfully landed at EGNT Newcastle Airport on runway 25. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 246.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 234 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,114 meters, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude above the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than expected at 49 knots, which may have been a result of the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 323 meters, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to slow down effectively during the landing.

The touchdown speed of 31 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down at a higher speed. However, the touchdown rate of -3 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain a stable descent rate. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen demonstrating its capabilities as a pioneering aircraft.
