Departing from Cotswold Airport Kemble in Gloucestershire, England, the aircraft began its enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 447 ft above sea level to 627 ft asl, a net increase of 180 ft over a period of 2 minutes, while covering a distance of approximately 2 nautical miles. This initial climb phase set the stage for a smooth and controlled flight.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it aligned itself with runway 08 at Cotswold Airport, heading 78.0° from the west at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 205 ft above ground level. The landing was executed with precision, with the threshold height being satisfactory, although the threshold speed was slightly higher than optimal at 70 kt. The touchdown point was 72 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 52 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -6 fpm was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C, with a wind speed of 3 kt from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the tailwind component was 2 kt. The total landing distance of 823 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, further underscoring the precision and control exhibited during the landing phase. The total flight distance was a mere 3 nautical miles, and the aircraft used a minimal amount of fuel, -1 kg, during the flight.

The final approach to runway 08 at EGBP Cotswold Airport from the west was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 78.0° at 1 nm and 205 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a temperature of 20 °C, with a gentle wind of 3 kt at 230°, resulting in a minimal crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it was noted that the threshold speed was slightly higher than desired at 70 kt. However, the touchdown speed of 52 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -6 fpm was perfect, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The touchdown point was 72 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, did not compromise the overall safety of the landing.
The rollout phase was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 823 m was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.1% reflecting the minor deviations from ideal performance.
