The aircraft took off from a height of 45 feet above sea level and climbed to 995 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of one nautical mile. This impressive climb rate demonstrated the aircraft's exceptional power and agility.
As the aircraft continued on its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting one mile north-east of Islay Airport. The descent from 997 feet to 369 feet took two minutes, covering a distance of one nautical mile. This controlled descent showcased the pilot's expertise in navigating the aircraft through various altitudes and terrain.
The final approach to runway 31 at Islay Airport was conducted from the south-east, with the aircraft heading at 303.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 327 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a distance of one nautical mile from the runway, preparing for a smooth landing.
The landing itself was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft touching down on the 1,268-meter-long runway 31 at Islay Airport. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 23 knots was achieved. The touchdown distance was also impressive, with the aircraft coming to a stop in just 47 meters. The touchdown speed of 21 knots and the rate of descent of -197 feet per minute were both good, indicating a safe and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the flight.
