Arrival
This flight was conducted in an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft, a lightweight and versatile plane. The flight began with an enroute climb from a starting altitude of 268 feet above sea level (asl) over Dinnington, located near Newcastle upon Tyne in England. The aircraft quickly gained altitude, reaching 1,178 feet asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute level cruise phase, which started over Ponteland in Northumberland, England. During this 3-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered an additional 3 nm. This cruise phase allowed the aircraft to reach a stable state, preparing it for the final approach to the runway.
The final approach to runway 25 at Newcastle Airport (EGNT) was conducted from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 247.0° at a distance of 1 nm from the runway. At an altitude of 314 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft was well-positioned for a smooth landing. The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the 2,114-meter-long runway at a distance of 309 meters. The touchdown speed of 24 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -64 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a controlled and gentle descent.
The local weather conditions during the flight were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total flight distance of 5 nm covered in 6 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 1 kg. Overall, the flight demonstrated the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen's capabilities as a reliable and efficient aircraft.
