The flight in question was a brief and controlled operation involving an AA-5B aircraft, registered as N28672. The aircraft began its enroute level cruise phase while flying overhead Newcastle Airport, located in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and EGNT. This initial phase lasted for just 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it entered the final approach phase, heading southwest towards runway 07 at EGNT Newcastle Airport. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 95 feet above ground level (agl) and had traveled 0 nautical miles. The approach was made from the southwest, with a heading of 64.0 degrees.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 2,114 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was found to be too high at 87 knots. The touchdown point was located more than 50% of the way down the runway, indicating that the aircraft had used a significant portion of the available runway.
Despite the high threshold speed, the touchdown speed of 52 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 299 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,313 meters, which accounted for 62% of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase.
In terms of overall performance, the aircraft used a total distance of 1 nautical mile during the flight, which took 2 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during this brief operation.

Stall Warning Deactivated at 19:57:49 |
The aircraft, AA-5B with registration number N28672, successfully landed at EGNT Newcastle Airport on runway 07. The final approach was initiated from the south-west, heading 64.0° at an altitude of 95 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
However, there was a notable issue with the threshold speed, which was recorded at 87 knots. This is higher than the recommended speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to make some adjustments to ensure a smooth touchdown. Despite this, the touchdown point was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to make some adjustments to the approach to achieve a shorter touchdown point.
The touchdown speed of 52 knots was recorded as good, and the touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown with precision. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, which is essential for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 299°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 1,313 meters, which is 62% of the available runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it was still within the safe limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as the threshold speed and the touchdown point. However, the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown was excellent, and the landing was safe and smooth.
