Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft, identified as N13AV. It commenced its takeoff and climb from Castletown, which is located on the Isle of Man, near the Isle of Man Airport (EGNS). Starting from an altitude of 51 feet above sea level (asl), the aircraft rapidly ascended to a height of 901 feet asl over a period of one minute, covering a distance of two nautical miles. This remarkable increase in altitude was achieved without any issues.
Following its climb, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute level cruise, starting one mile southeast of the Isle of Man Airport. This phase of the flight lasted for two minutes and also covered a distance of two nautical miles. This period of steady cruising provided stability and efficiency for the aircraft.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it entered the final approach phase. It descended from an altitude of 704 feet above ground level (agl) to one nautical mile from the landing site, while maintaining an altitude within a safe range for a controlled descent. The final seconds before touchdown required precision control as the aircraft descended from 46 feet agl to the ground surface.
The actual touchdown itself was marked by a speed of 54 knots, which can be considered normal for the aircraft type, while the touchdown rate of -70 feet per minute (fpm) was notably excellent. Additionally, the touchdown distance of 286 meters can be regarded as good, considering the local conditions.
After touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, covering a distance of 256 meters. By the end of the rollout, the aircraft's altitude had decreased to 29 feet asl. Notably, the aircraft had burned 2 kilograms of fuel for its entire journey, which lasted around 4 minutes and covered a total distance of five nautical miles.
The conditions during the flight were favorable, with local weather at 15 degrees Celsius and a wind of 2 knots at a direction of 270 degrees, effectively creating a headwind of 0 knots. This minimal wind presence minimized any potential complications for the aircraft during its approach and landing phases.
