Departing from Cotswold Airport, a short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft began its roll down runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 52 kt within 751 meters, approximately 46% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. As the aircraft lifted off, it transitioned into a climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 642 ft above sea level to a higher altitude of 625 ft, an increase of 17 ft over a period of 1 minute, while covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it eventually began its descent for the final approach to runway 08 at Cotswold Airport, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 67.0° and an altitude of 198 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, eventually touching down on the runway at a speed of 35 kt, with a touchdown distance of 79 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -104 ft per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained unchanged, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 129 meters, which accounted for approximately 8% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, suggesting a highly efficient operation.

The final approach to runway 08 at EGBP Cotswold Airport from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 67.0° at 0 nm and 198 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved, allowing the crew to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface. However, the threshold speed of 38 kt was slightly below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling the aircraft.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 79 m was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 35 kt was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -104 fpm was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 129 m, which accounted for only 8% of the runway length, was impressive, demonstrating the crew's skill and control. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 92.7%, reflecting the crew's high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
