The flight began with a departure roll from runway 32 at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip, where the Van's RV-8 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 141 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 252 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 32, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 6 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 66.7 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 25 seconds.

The base leg turn was then executed, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 53.5 degrees to the runway. The base leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 9 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 29 seconds, setting up the aircraft for a final approach to runway 32 from the south-east, heading 324.0 degrees at an altitude of 19 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 32 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good and a threshold speed of 64 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, at 65 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 63 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -138 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 252 degrees.

The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 2 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 32 at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip in the Van's RV-8

Landing Score 99.67 %

Landing Summary

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip, achieving a remarkable score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, aligning with a heading of 324.0° at an altitude of 19 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 64 knots was also satisfactory, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown distance of 65 meters was within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and precision.

However, the touchdown speed of 63 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout or increased wear on the aircraft's landing gear. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and stable descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and accurate approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 3°C and wind speeds of 6 knots at 252°, presented a moderate headwind and a slight crosswind component. The pilot effectively managed these conditions, achieving a good headwind component of 2 knots and a crosswind component of 5 knots.

Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance capabilities. The Van's RV-8 demonstrated its ability to handle a variety of weather conditions and approach scenarios, making it a reliable and versatile aircraft for pilots of all skill levels.
