The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at RAF Woodvale, with the aircraft, an AH-Chipmunk 81MIL, taking off after a distance of 265 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 58 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 129 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

The enroute level cruise started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft flying overhead Formby in Sefton, England. This initial cruise lasted for just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent, starting from an altitude of 1,193 feet above sea level and descending to 467 feet above sea level over a distance of 3 nautical miles in 2 minutes.

Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time flying overhead Ince Blundell in Sefton, England. This cruise lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08L at City Airport Manchester, flying from the west at a heading of 82.0 degrees and an altitude of 91 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 08L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 51 knots and a distance of 40 meters from the threshold. The touchdown rate was fair at -294 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 253 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 276 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 26 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 08L at EGCB City Airport Manchester in the AH-Chipmunk 81MIL

Landing Score 95.55 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, AH-Chipmunk 81MIL, successfully landed on runway 08L at EGCB City Airport Manchester with a score of 95.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 82.0° at an altitude of 91 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, and the threshold height was reported as good.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 52 knots, which was within the expected range. The touchdown distance of 40 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 51 knots was also within the acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 253°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing.

The total landing distance of 276 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation from the centerline may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.5%.
