Arrival
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna 208B, then departed from runway 27 at RAF Fairford (EGVA), a British Royal Air Force base. The takeoff distance was 400 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 81 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 233°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb after departing the runway, with the climb starting overhead the town of Meysey Hampton in Gloucestershire, England. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,294 feet above sea level to 10,392 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,098 feet, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead the town of Stonesfield in Oxfordshire, England. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south east of the town of Down Ampney in Gloucestershire, England. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 10,401 feet above sea level to 564 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,837 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at RAF Fairford was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 269.0° at an altitude of 291 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 3,036 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 65 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 340 meters, and the touchdown speed was 58 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was good at -167 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 233°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 446 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing the aircraft from the runway to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 44 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 33 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 85 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at RAF Fairford's runway 27, achieving a score of 97.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 291 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 58 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 340 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a smooth transition from the approach to the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable limits, suggesting that the aircraft had a gentle and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 233°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing, and the aircraft's performance was not compromised.
The total landing distance of 446 meters was only 15% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had a relatively short landing roll. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, as it suggests that the landing was smooth and controlled.
