The flight began with a departure roll from runway 29 at KGIF Winter Haven Regional Airport - Gilbert Field. The Spitfire Mk IX aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching liftoff speed of 34 knots in a relatively short distance of 157 feet, which accounted for 4% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 276 degrees.
After taking off, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the turn in a remarkably short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 12 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which spanned a distance of 1 nautical mile and involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, with the aircraft heading at 120.0 degrees.
As the aircraft continued its approach, it entered the downwind leg, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 42 seconds. The final approach to runway 29 was made from the east, with the aircraft heading at 283.0 degrees and at an altitude of 55 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing itself was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 69 knots and a touchdown distance of 902 feet, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -104 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 267 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,899 feet, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was a relatively short 1 nautical mile, which was covered in just 2 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used a minimal amount of fuel, with a consumption of -1 pounds.

The Spitfire Mk IX aircraft successfully landed at KGIF Winter Haven Regional Airport - Gilbert Field, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 29 was initiated from the east, heading 283.0° at an altitude of 55 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 69 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance of 902 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and even approach.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 267°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,899 feet was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the runway length of 3,989 feet. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-controlled approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
One area for improvement noted in the landing was the threshold speed, which was too high at 90 knots. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the pilot was able to recover and execute a successful touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered good, with a high score of 96.7% reflecting the pilot's skill and control during the approach and landing phases.
