This flight, piloted by Savage Grravel, began at Bute Airfield in Rothesay, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft, a Special Edition model, took off from a starting altitude of 87 feet above sea level and quickly climbed to 371 feet, a gain of 284 feet in just 3 minutes. This rapid ascent covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it was heading east towards runway 27, with a bearing of 264.0 degrees. At this point, it was 1 nautical mile away from the runway and at an altitude of 334 feet above ground level. The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on the 550-meter runway, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 39 knots.
The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 20 meters, and the touchdown speed was 36 knots. However, the touchdown rate was only fair, at -284 feet per minute. One notable aspect of the landing was that the aircraft touched down significantly off-centerline, deviating by 16.5 meters from the runway's centerline.
The flight took place in calm weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and no wind. The aircraft did not experience any crosswind or headwind during the landing. The total flight distance was a short 1 nautical mile, and the flight lasted for 4 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

The Savage Grravel: Special Edition aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at EGRT Bute Airfield, achieving a score of 83.2%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 334 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good touchdown distance of 20 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed was 36 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 39 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable descent.
One notable issue during the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 16.5 meters off the centerline. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 240°. There was no crosswind or headwind, which made the landing conditions ideal. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more stable descent and aligning the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
