A Boeing C-17 departed from a nearby location, initiating its enroute climb as it ascended over EGBP Cotswold Airport Kemble, located in Gloucestershire, England. The aircraft successfully transitioned from an initial altitude of 441 feet above sea level to 525 feet, a vertical increase of 84 feet, within a 2-minute period. This climb phase also saw the aircraft cover a horizontal distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the C-17 approached the airport, it began its final descent onto runway 08, aligning itself with the western approach path. The aircraft maintained a heading of 79.0 degrees at an altitude of 104 feet above ground level, just 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 40 knots and a distance of 271 meters. The touchdown rate was a respectable -114 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 269 degrees, contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The C-17's landing performance was impressive, with the total landing distance of 416 meters accounting for only 26% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. Notably, the aircraft's fuel consumption during the flight was minimal, with no fuel being used for the 2-nautical-mile journey that took approximately 3 minutes to complete.
