The flight began with a departure roll from runway 32 at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip, where the Van's RV-8 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 276 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 305 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 32, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated with ease, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 4 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 110.5 degrees to the runway. The base leg turn followed, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 46.4 degrees to the runway.

The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds, and the final turn was executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The final approach to runway 32 was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 324.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 468 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 32 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 69 knots. However, the touchdown point was a little long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The threshold speed was well above the target, at 72 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.

The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 305 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight used 1 kilogram of fuel.

Landing on runway 32 at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip in the Van's RV-8

Landing Score 95.44 %

Landing Summary

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at LZLI Ďačov Airstrip, achieving a score of 95.4%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 324.0° at 1 nautical mile and 468 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 72 knots.

However, the touchdown point was a concern, as it was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly too long on the runway, which could be a result of a slightly fast touchdown speed. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was a little above the target, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was good at -189 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 305°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely to the runway was a testament to their skill and experience.
