A Boeing C17 aircraft began its enroute climb from a starting altitude of 65 feet above sea level (asl) over Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft successfully climbed to a height of 341 feet asl, an increase of 275 feet in just 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This marked the beginning of a smooth and controlled ascent.
As the aircraft approached Glasgow Prestwick Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 30 from the south east, maintaining a heading of 301.0 degrees at an altitude of 275 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's descent was characterized by precision and control, setting it up for a safe and successful landing.
Upon landing on runway 30, the aircraft touched down at a distance of 422 meters, which was deemed good. The touchdown speed of 43 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -28 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 228 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind was a mere 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 542 meters was only 20% of the runway length, which is a testament to the aircraft's precision and control during the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
In terms of fuel consumption, the aircraft used a total of -3 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which is a remarkable achievement considering the flight distance of 2 nautical miles and the duration of 5 minutes. Overall, the flight was characterized by precision, control, and a high degree of safety, making it a successful and impressive operation.
