The aircraft flown for the flight was an AT802 Firefighting, a firefighting aircraft designed for aerial support and suppression. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway for departure took only 1 minute, covering a mere distance of less than 1 nautical mile. As the AT802 Firefighting aircraft prepared to take off, it rolled down runway 34 at the Biella-Cerrione Airfield, situated at LILE in Italy. The takeoff distance required was 523 meters, which equates to 42% of the total length of the runway. Notably, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 88 knots.
As the aircraft soared into the air, the local weather conditions played a significant role in its ascent. The temperature stood at 16 degrees Celsius, and a gentle wind blew at 4 knots from a direction of 332 degrees. Notably, the local wind patterns provided a 4-knot headwind, contributing to a stable and steady climb. The AT802 Firefighting aircraft took advantage of this favorable wind to begin its enroute climb, which started as it flew overhead the town of Verrone in the Italian region of Piemonte.
Throughout the climb, the aircraft rose from an altitude of 964 feet above sea level to 5401 feet, an impressive gain of 4437 feet over a distance of 12 nautical miles. This impressive climb was achieved in just 6 minutes. Upon reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft leveled out and entered a steady cruise. The enroute level cruise started as the aircraft flew overhead the town of Rueglio in Piemonte, and it continued for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its final descent to prepare for landing, it descended from a cruising altitude of 5383 feet above sea level to 3121 feet, a decrease of 2264 feet over 3 nautical miles. The descent started as the aircraft flew overhead the town of Brosso in Piemonte. Further descents followed, with the aircraft flying from overhead Cascinette d'Ivrea before entering the final approach phase.
The final approach to runway 34 at Biella-Cerrione Airfield came from the southeast, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 337.0 degrees at an altitude of 78 feet agl. As the aircraft neared its destination, the threshold height was found to be good, and the threshold speed of 66 knots was slightly below the target speed.
Upon landing, the aircraft showed impressive performance, with a touchdown distance of 74 meters, touchdown speed of 62 knots, and a smooth touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was exceptional, showcasing the AT802 Firefighting aircraft's exceptional control and handling. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took a mere 1 minute, again covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 32 nautical miles, and the flight lasted 21 minutes. Interestingly, the aircraft used 56 kilograms of fuel throughout the flight.

The aircraft in question, an AT802 Firefighting aircraft, has just completed a successful landing at LILE Biella-Cerrione Airfield. The pilot executed a flawless approach to runway 34, arriving from the south-east with a heading of 337.0° at an altitude of 78 feet above ground level (agl) and exactly 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway.
The landing was executed to perfection, with the pilot making precise adjustments to touch down smoothly on the runway. The threshold speed, although slightly below the target of 66 knots, was not a cause for concern as it did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The aircraft touched down at 62 knots, which is a good speed for the given runway length of 1,259 meters.
The pilot's smooth control of the aircraft was evident in the smooth touchdown rate of -130 feet per minute (fpm), which is a testament to their skill and experience. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was deemed excellent, indicating that the pilot had expertly aligned the aircraft for the landing.
The weather conditions at the time of the landing were also favourable, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 4 knots from 330°, providing a 4-knot headwind. This crosswind component was virtually zero, making the task of landing even easier for the pilot.
The total landing distance of 488 meters was an impressive 39% of the available runway length, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft and make the most of the runway on offer. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained excellent control of the aircraft even after touchdown.
Overall, this landing is a fine example of airmanship and pilot skill, with every aspect of the landing performed to an exceptionally high standard. The pilot's ability to execute a smooth and controlled landing, even on a shorter runway, is a credit to their training and experience.
