The flight began with the departure roll from runway 27 at EGRT Bute Airfield. The aircraft, Sirius, successfully took off after covering a distance of 129 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 52 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from a height of 1,002 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,954 ft asl. This increase of 1,952 feet was achieved in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead the location X6BU Bute, situated in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft began its descent from a height of 2,889 ft asl to 864 ft asl. This decrease of 2,025 feet was accomplished in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The descent was initiated 3 miles southwest of the Isle of Bute, located in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 4 miles southwest of the Isle of Bute and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase marked a brief period of steady altitude and airspeed.

The final approach to runway 09 at X6BU Bute was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading at 87.0 degrees and at an altitude of 619 feet above ground level (agl). However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 0 feet agl.

The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 09 at X6BU Bute, which had a length of 480 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 51 knots. The touchdown point was excessively long, utilizing more than 75% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was recorded at 39 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 53 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing 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 tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was recorded at 435 meters, which accounted for 91% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 38 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 09 at X6BU Bute in the Sirius

Landing Score 89.81 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, has successfully landed at X6BU Bute, achieving a score of 87.3%. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 87.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 619 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 480 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed, coming in at 51 knots instead of the desired 68 knots.

The touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly too far back from the optimal touchdown position. The touchdown speed of 39 knots was reported as good, and the touchdown rate of 53 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 2 knots was present.

The total landing distance was 435 meters, which is 91% of the available runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the excessively long touchdown point and the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position. However, the aircraft's score of 87.3% indicates a high level of proficiency and control during the landing.
