This flight was conducted using an Airbus H160 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a starting point located 7 miles northwest of Lossiemouth in Moray, Scotland. The aircraft took off from a height of 332 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,007 feet above sea level, a total increase of 675 feet, over the course of 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of Hopeman in Moray, Scotland. This phase of the flight lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25 at EGQK RAF Kinloss, approaching from the north east at a heading of 245.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 678 feet above ground level.
Upon landing on runway 25, which has a length of 2,307 meters, the aircraft encountered some issues with its touchdown. The threshold height was excessively high at 141 feet above ground level, and the threshold speed was also excessively high at 80 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 462 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft's touchdown speed was excessively fast at 40 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -339 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 263 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 12 nautical miles and lasting 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -578 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Airbus H160 aircraft has successfully landed at RAF Kinloss, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 245.0° at 1 nautical mile and 678 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 2,307 meters.
However, there were some issues with the landing performance. The threshold height at 141 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 80 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was not slowing down as quickly as it should have been during the final approach.
Despite these issues, the touchdown distance was good at 462 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land safely. However, the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 40 knots, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially caused a bumpy ride for passengers. The touchdown rate was firm at -339 feet per minute (fpm), which is within a safe range but could be improved.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway and landed safely. The local weather conditions were also favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 263°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots, which helped to slow down the aircraft during the final approach.
Overall, while the Airbus H160 aircraft landed safely at RAF Kinloss, there are areas for improvement in terms of landing performance. The pilots will need to work on reducing the threshold height and speed, as well as improving the touchdown speed and rate.
