This flight involved flying a GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft, registered as N13AV, off from runway 28 at Goodwood Aerodrome (EGHR). The departure was successful, with a takeoff distance of 371 meters, which made up 53% of the available runway length. The airspeed required for liftoff was achieved at 71 knots.

Upon taking off, the pilot navigated to the designated traffic pattern for right-hand operations on runway 28. The aircraft entered the traffic pattern efficiently, completing a right-hand pattern entry in a distance of less than one nautical mile in 63 seconds. Following the initial turn, the pilot completed a right-hand pattern crosswind turn in a similarly efficient manner, completing the maneuver in under six seconds.

The flight then progressed into the downwind leg of the traffic pattern, where the aircraft maintained a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of two nautical miles. The downwind leg was successfully completed in a short distance of under one nautical mile in just five seconds.

Next, the pilot navigated the aircraft during the base leg turn, which involved maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway as well as a distance of two nautical miles. This leg of the pattern was completed efficiently, allowing the aircraft to position itself for the final approach to runway 14.

The approach was initiated from the northwest with a heading of 140 degrees, at a distance of one nautical mile and 726 feet above ground level (agl). The flight then proceeded with a successful landing on runway 14, which had a length of 970 meters. The aircraft made a smooth touchdown, achieving its threshold speed at 70 knots and utilizing a touchdown distance of 296 meters. The touchdown speed was also good, reaching a rate of 50 knots.

During the landing, the aircraft experienced a crosswind of two knots and a slight tailwind of one knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully maneuvered the aircraft for a smooth touchdown, resulting in a rate of -114 feet per minute. Although the aircraft landed with a slight misalignment, being off the centreline by 5.6 meters, this minor deviation had little to no impact on the flight's overall success.

In conclusion, this flight represented a smooth and efficient operation of the GA-8 Airvan Commuter, utilizing optimal navigation and piloting skills. The aircraft made use of the available runway and successfully completed all maneuvers with minimal deviation from the desired path. The total flight distance of three nautical miles took three minutes to complete, resulting in a fuel consumption of 2 kilograms.

Landing Score 92.71 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, GA-8 Airvan Commuter N13AV, has successfully landed at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach phase was conducted from the north-west, aligning with a heading of 140.0° at a height of 726 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good control and stability, as indicated by the satisfactory threshold height and threshold speed of 70 kt. The touchdown distance of 296 meters was also within acceptable limits, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 50 kt was well within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -114 feet per minute (fpm).

However, minor discrepancies did occur during the landing, as the aircraft touched down slightly off-centerline by 5.6 meters. This may be attributed to various factors, including crosswind or tailwind conditions. On the day of the landing, local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 2 kt from 269°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kt and a tailwind of just 1 kt.

Despite these minor variations, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot during the landing was satisfactory, achieving an impressive 92.7% score.
