The GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft, identified as N13AV, flew a flight that featured a combination of climbing, level cruising, and descending to eventually land safely at the EGNS Isle of Man Airport.

The flight began with an enroute climb from the initial altitude of 68 feet above sea level as the aircraft lifted off from the Castletown area in the Isle of Man. In just 2 minutes, the aircraft managed to climb an impressive 1,011 feet, reaching a height of 1,080 feet above sea level while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb continued, and it is mentioned that another climb started 1 mile west of Port Erin. This climb saw a further increase of 836 feet in just 2 minutes, bringing the altitude to 1,472 feet above sea level.

The aircraft then levelled off during a 5-minute period, cruising over the Castletown area, before beginning a descent. Descending from 1,468 feet above sea level, the aircraft landed safely at the EGNS Isle of Man Airport. This 2-minute descent saw a decrease of 1,268 feet in altitude, resulting in an approach altitude of 201 feet above sea level.

The final approach to runway 08, with a heading of 77.0 degrees, started at 0 nautical miles and 157 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway 1,524 meters long with a good threshold height, and threshold speed was slightly below target at 64 knots. Other parameters also indicated a smooth and safe landing, including a touchdown distance of 131 meters and a touchdown speed of 56 knots. However, touchdown rate was slightly better at -79 feet per minute, and alignment during the landing was excellent.

The aircraft's performance also included an efficient use of fuel, with a total fuel consumption that resulted in a -7 kg of change. The overall flight distance was 11 nautical miles, covered in 10 minutes. The wind, local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, and wind speed of 6 knots at 206 degrees also played a part in this efficient flight.

It's worth noting that the total landing distance of the aircraft was 569 meters, representing 37% of the runway, and the plane's alignment during rollout on the runway after landing was described as very good.
