The Horten Ho229 aircraft was taxied from the parking area to the runway at EGPO Stornoway Airport, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 4 minutes. This brief taxiing period set the stage for the aircraft's subsequent flight operations.
As the aircraft prepared for departure, it rolled down runway 36, utilizing only 10% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was a relatively short 673 feet, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 86 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, navigating a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 8 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 12 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The pattern downwind leg covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 42 seconds, while the base leg turn required a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn radius of 7.5 degrees.
As the aircraft approached the runway for landing, it was flying at an altitude of 346 feet above ground level (agl) and a heading of 357.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway. The final approach was made from the south, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was found to be too high at 92 knots, and the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 81 knots.
Despite these minor issues, the touchdown distance was good at 638 feet, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -87 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 30°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,247 feet, which accounted for only 18% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. In total, the flight covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, consuming 48 pounds of fuel in the process.

The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed at EGPO Stornoway Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach to runway 36 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 357.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 346 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 6,859 feet, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 92 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 638 feet was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 81 knots was a little fast. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a more controlled touchdown. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of -87 feet per minute was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 54°F and winds of 20 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,247 feet was 18% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 97.3%. The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases, and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently.
