Departure
Arrival
Departing from Cotswold Airport, the RANS S6S bush trike began its takeoff roll on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 44 kt within 151 meters, which accounted for just 9% of the available runway length. The aircraft then transitioned into a steady climb, leaving the airport behind as it ascended from 1,080 feet above sea level to 542 feet, a vertical gain of 538 feet achieved in just one minute. This rapid ascent covered a distance of less than one nautical mile, demonstrating the aircraft's impressive climb performance.
As the flight continued, the pilot encountered a situation requiring a go-around, executing the maneuver at an altitude of 115 feet above ground level. The aircraft then re-established its approach to runway 08L, this time successfully completing a final approach from the west at a heading of 76.0° and an altitude of 57 feet. The landing itself was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 28 kt, just below the target threshold speed of 34 kt. The touchdown distance of 69 meters was also satisfactory, and the aircraft's descent rate of -125 feet per minute was smooth and controlled. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of pilot skill and aircraft handling.
The flight concluded with a total distance of one nautical mile, achieved in two minutes, and a fuel consumption of one kilogram. The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°. The absence of any significant crosswind or tailwind components contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the flight, allowing the pilot to focus on executing a safe and efficient landing.

The final approach to runway 08L at EGBP Cotswold Airport was executed from the west, with the aircraft heading 76.0° at 0 nm and 57 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target, coming in at 34 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, with the aircraft touching down at 69 m from the threshold.
The touchdown characteristics were also satisfactory, with a speed of 28 kt at touchdown and a smooth rate of descent of -125 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control and navigation by the pilot. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 kt.
The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a score of 98.2%. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown alignment, and smooth touchdown characteristics all contributed to a successful landing. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to the runway and execute a smooth touchdown, despite a slightly below-target threshold speed, was a testament to their skill and experience.
