Departing from the Cotswold Airport Kemble in Gloucestershire, England, the Cessna 172 began its enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 439 feet above sea level to 1,208 feet above sea level. This climb of 769 feet was achieved in just one minute, with the aircraft covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb rate of 769 feet per minute is consistent with the aircraft's performance capabilities.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude as it flew over Oaksey in Wiltshire, England. This phase lasted for three minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The cruise phase allowed the pilot to establish a stable flight path, optimizing fuel efficiency and minimizing the risk of turbulence.
As the aircraft approached the Cotswold Airport, it began its final approach to runway 08 from the west, aligning with the runway at an altitude of 173 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 32 knots and a distance of 226 meters. The touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute was also within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 406 meters, which accounted for only 25% of the runway length, further demonstrated the pilot's skill and control.
