The flight was conducted in a Magni M24 Plus White, a lightweight aircraft known for its high maneuverability. Pre-flight preparations involved taxiing the aircraft from the parking area to the runway, a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, which took approximately 2 minutes to complete.
Taking off from runway 27 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 47 knots in a distance of 41 meters, covering about 3% of the full runway length. The departure roll was uneventful, with a smooth transition into the air. The local weather conditions during takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a gentle breeze of 2 knots from 230 degrees.
Upon reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft flew a level course for 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This segment of the flight was conducted in a smooth, stabilized manner, allowing the crew to maintain control and monitor the aircraft's performance.
Following the enroute cruise, the aircraft began its descent to land on runway 27 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport. The landing approach was characterized by a threshold height that was significantly above the target, but the aircraft successfully compensated for this by maintaining a high airspeed. The threshold speed was also well above the target, requiring the crew to carefully manage the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 21 knots. The touchdown distance was approximately 365 meters, which was considered good given the aircraft's performance and the landing conditions. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -144 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The post-landing assessment revealed that the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a precise approach. The local weather conditions during landing were nearly identical to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 2 knots.
In conclusion, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled takeoff, a stable enroute cruise, and a precise landing. The aircraft's performance was evaluated as good, and the crew's skills were demonstrated to be strong. The total flight distance was 1 nautical mile, and the flight lasted for 8 minutes, consuming 1 kg of fuel in the process.

The Magni M24 Plus White successfully landed on runway 27 at Gibraltar Airport (LXGB), showcasing its capabilities on a challenging approach. Despite the threshold height being significantly above the target at 85 ft agl, the aircraft's pilots demonstrated expertise in controlling the descent and speed.
One notable aspect of this landing was the threshold speed, which was recorded at 53 kt, exceeding the target by a considerable margin. This high speed may have posed a risk, but the pilots effectively managed to absorb the excess speed upon touchdown without compromising the landing, achieving a smooth touchdown rate of -144 fpm and a touchdown speed of 21 kt.
Furthermore, the landing distance was within acceptable limits, reaching 365 m, indicating proficient aircraft handling by the operators. The runway touchdown alignment was also impressive, displaying the pilots' attentiveness and control during the final stages of the flight.
Weather conditions at the time of the landing contributed positively to the process, with the local temperature at 13 °C and a favorable tailwind of 2 kt, offset by some crosswind. This relatively calm environment allowed the pilots to maintain precise control over the aircraft's trajectory. Overall, the pilots and the Magni M24 Plus White effectively demonstrated their capabilities by navigating through these challenging conditions and securing a 78.0% score for the landing.
