The Edgley Optica aircraft took off from runway 21 at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LFPB) after a 6-minute taxiing period, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The takeoff distance was 77 meters, which accounted for only 3% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 61 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 283 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Dugny in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 488 feet above sea level to 820 feet, an increase of 332 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Dugny and lasted for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, beginning overhead the city of Paris. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,164 feet above sea level to 605 feet, a decrease of 559 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile south-east of the town of Neuilly-sur-Seine. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, starting overhead Paris and taking the aircraft from an altitude of 481 feet above sea level to 1,231 feet, an increase of 750 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final enroute level cruise phase began overhead the town of Bagnolet and lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 03 at LFPB, heading in a southerly direction at an altitude of 1,097 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 03 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 42 knots and a distance of 397 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -364 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 539 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of takeoff. The total flight distance was 20 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 03 at LFPB Paris-Le Bourget Airport in the Edgley Optica

Landing Score 83.83 %

Landing Summary

The Edgley Optica aircraft successfully landed on runway 03 at LFPB Paris-Le Bourget Airport, achieving a score of 83.8%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 25.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,097 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 397 meters, which was considered good.

The touchdown speed of 42 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -364 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly heavy on landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 283°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

One area for improvement was the runway rollout alignment, which was misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight and stable rollout after touchdown. However, this issue did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.

Overall, the Edgley Optica aircraft demonstrated a good level of proficiency in landing on runway 03 at LFPB Paris-Le Bourget Airport, with a score of 83.8%. While there were some areas for improvement, the pilot's overall performance was considered satisfactory.
