The flight began with the aircraft, a Sting S4, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFLX Châteauroux-Déols "Marcel Dassault" Airport. This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 21, with a takeoff distance of 179 meters, which accounted for 5% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 272 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 21, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 67 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 21, which it navigated in 59 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The pattern then involved a downwind turn, with the aircraft covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 57.1 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 54 seconds to complete.

The aircraft then began its base leg turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 19.9 degrees to the runway. The final approach to runway 21 was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 213.0 degrees at an altitude of 176 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 21 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 356 meters from the threshold. However, the touchdown speed was slightly high at 41 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 meters.

The total landing distance was 608 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.8 meters. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 11 nautical miles and took approximately 9 minutes to complete, using 2 kilograms of fuel in the process.

Landing on runway 21 at LFLX Châteauroux-Déols "Marcel Dassault" Airport in the Sting S4

Landing Score 94.35 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a Sting S4, successfully landed at LFLX Châteauroux-Déols "Marcel Dassault" Airport, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 213.0° at an altitude of 176 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 3,501 meters. However, the threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 61 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown.

Despite these minor issues, the touchdown distance was good at 356 meters, and the touchdown speed of 41 knots was fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 272°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.

The total landing distance was 608 meters, which is 17% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor issues with the threshold height and speed, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or control inputs.
