This flight was conducted in an American Champion Scout, a type of light aircraft known as the Lions 26 Analog. The flight began with an enroute climb from Welshpool Airport, located in Sir Powys, Wales. The aircraft took off from a height of 244 feet above sea level and climbed to 465 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent demonstrates the aircraft's ability to quickly gain altitude.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it began its final approach to runway 04 at Welshpool Airport. The approach was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at a precise 30.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 231 feet above ground level. The conditions for the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.
The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 50 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 132 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -35 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully lined up the aircraft with the runway.
However, the post-landing rollout was not as smooth, with the aircraft's alignment deviating from the centerline by a significant 1,133.8 meters. This excessive misalignment suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in controlling the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
In terms of the flight's overall performance, the aircraft flew a total distance of 1 nautical mile, taking 21 minutes to complete the flight. The flight used a total of 3 kilograms of fuel, indicating a relatively efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the flight.

The American Champion Scout, registration LIONS 26 ANALOG, successfully landed at EGCW Welshpool Airport on runway 04. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 30.0° at 1 nautical mile and 231 feet above ground level. The pilot executed a precise final approach, adhering to the standard threshold height and speed requirements.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a touchdown speed of 50 knots and a rate of descent of -35 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 132 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind, allowing the pilot to focus on a smooth landing. The total landing distance of 644 meters was within 80% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
However, the post-landing rollout revealed a notable issue. The aircraft's rollout alignment was excessively misaligned from the centerline by 1,133.8 meters. This discrepancy suggests that the pilot may have experienced difficulties in maintaining a stable and aligned rollout, potentially due to factors such as brake application or control input. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, and the pilot demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's handling characteristics.
