This flight, operated by the GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft with the registration N13AV, began its ascent from the Andreas Airfield located on the Isle of Man, specifically from overhead EGZU. As the aircraft lifted off the ground, it started climbing to a higher altitude. This climb phase commenced at an altitude of 111 ft above sea level, increasing by 12 ft during an ascent period of less than 1 minute and covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Upon completion of the climb phase, the GA-8 Airvan Commuter began its descent and final approach towards runway 29 at the EGZU Andreas Airfield, where the runway length measures 953 meters. On initial attempts to land, the threshold speed exceeded the target speed of 80 kt. However, for the successful landing, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at approximately 72 kt.
The final approach to the runway, from the eastern direction at a heading of 282.0°, covered a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 419 ft above ground level. Upon successful landing, the touchdown distance was reported as being within a good range at 231 meters, while the touchdown speed of 58 kt was also commensurate. The touchdown rate was exceptional at -87 ft per minute as the aircraft landed with perfect alignment with the runway direction. Weather conditions played a negligible role in the flight with a local temperature of 15 °C, extremely gentle wind of 2 kt at a direction of 270°, and minimal crosswinds of 1 kt headwind and 2 kt tailwind.
In conclusion, the flight demonstrated exemplary performance, with the aircraft covering a total distance of 2 nautical miles in 4 minutes while consuming a fuel amount of 2 kg. The aircraft successfully accomplished the task with a commendable performance in various stages of the flight, including the climb, descent, and landing phases.

A GA-8 Airvan Commuter, designated as N13AV, successfully landed at Andreas Airfield, denoted as EGZU. The aircraft performed a final approach to runway 29 from the east, a relatively short 1 nautical mile away, at an altitude of 419 feet above ground level and heading towards 282.0°. The crew's approach and landing maneuver was highly evaluated at 89.0%.
One notable aspect of this particular landing was the aircraft's descent and approach speed. Upon reaching the threshold, the GA-8 Airvan Commuter touched down at approximately 72 kt, which was well above the targeted speed at that point. Upon landing, the aircraft's touchdown distance measured 231 meters, a length that was deemed as 'good.' Another key factor was the landing speed, which the crew effectively managed to maintain at 58 kt, demonstrating precise control and good airmanship.
The crew's touchdown rate of -87 fpm (feet per minute) was an outstanding achievement and marked an excellent aspect of the landing. Additionally, a good landing also entails a proper alignment with the runway, in this case, the touchdown was very well aligned on runway 29, contributing further to the landing's success.
The weather conditions prevailing at the time of landing at EGZU were rather favorable. The temperature on that cold September morning was around 15 °C, and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt at 270° influenced the approach. There was a small crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt, which had a minimal effect on the landing maneuvers.
