The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at EGTR Elstree Airfield, where the Sierra C24R aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 202 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, which it completed in a remarkably short time. The left-hand pattern entry from runway 26 took less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds, and the left-hand pattern crosswind leg took less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it turned at an angle of 58.4 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 62 seconds to complete.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, it turned at an angle of 11.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 26 was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 259.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 47.4 meters above ground level.

The landing on runway 26 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 54 knots and a distance of 56 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 60 knots, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -0.2 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 274 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 324 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -5 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Sierra C24R, successfully landed at EGTR Elstree Airfield with a score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 259.0° at 1 nautical mile and 47.4 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 653 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 60 knots. However, this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 56 meters, and the touchdown speed was 54 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was perfect at -0.2 meters per second, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and accurate approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 274°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the approach.

The total landing distance was 324 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled approach, and the favorable weather conditions did not pose any significant challenges.
