This flight was conducted in an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft, a lightweight and versatile plane. The flight began with an enroute climb from the Islay Airport on the Isle of Islay in Scotland. The aircraft took off from a height of 39 feet above sea level and climbed to 807 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and reach its cruising height.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the aircraft to reach its cruising speed and maintain a stable flight path.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile east of the Islay Airport. The descent was steep, with the aircraft losing 550 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid descent allowed the aircraft to quickly lose altitude and prepare for landing.
The final approach to runway 31 at the Islay Airport was conducted from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 147 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady heading and altitude, preparing for touchdown.
The landing was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 28 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 204 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect, at -28 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were mild, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 2 knots from the west. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots, providing a gentle breeze that aided the aircraft's landing.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 4 nautical miles and lasted 5 minutes, using no fuel in the process. This impressive performance highlights the efficiency and maneuverability of the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft.
