Track the centreline on final

Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the departure roll from runway 27 at EGRT Bute Airfield, a small airfield located in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft, named Sirius, successfully took off after covering a distance of 113 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 51 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.

As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during takeoff.

The enroute climb started as the aircraft flew overhead the location X6BU Bute, a notable landmark in the area. The climb was initiated from an altitude of 194 meters above sea level and continued to an altitude of 247 meters, resulting in an increase of 52.6 meters in just one minute. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase was initiated 2 miles south of EGRT Bute Airfield, near the town of Rothesay in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 09 at X6BU Bute, flying from the south-west at a heading of 66.0 degrees and an altitude of 49.5 meters above ground level. The aircraft was at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 131 meters. The touchdown speed was recorded at 46 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also perfect, at -0.1 meters per second, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.

The local weather conditions during the landing phase were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during landing.

In conclusion, the flight of the Sirius aircraft was a successful and controlled operation, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and precision throughout the flight. The aircraft covered a total distance of 5 nautical miles, using 1 kilogram of fuel in the process, and completed the flight in 7 minutes.
