Top opportunity

Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

Departing from Inverness Airport (EGPE), the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 58 kt in a distance of 164 m, which represented 9% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and precise turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, base leg, and final turn were executed with equal precision, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent angle to the runway of 45 degrees. The downwind leg, in particular, showcased the aircraft's agility, covering a distance of 2 nm in 91 seconds. Upon reaching the final approach, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 159 ft agl, aligning itself with the runway heading of 229.0°.

The landing itself was characterized by a smooth touchdown, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 30 kt and a distance of 165 m, representing 13% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -57 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in a straight line, maintaining perfect alignment with the runway. The total landing distance was 232 m, and the aircraft used a minimal amount of fuel, with a total flight distance of 5 nm and a flight time of 4 minutes.
