Top opportunity

Hold the approach angle

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, piloted by Savage Grravel, began with a departure roll from runway 27 at X6BU Bute. The aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 6 meters, which accounted for just 1% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 24 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient start to the flight.

As the aircraft climbed, it began its enroute climb overhead X6BU Bute, located in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb started from an altitude of 989 feet above sea level and reached 1,006 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting overhead X6BU Bute. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to maintain a stable and efficient cruise speed.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 27 at EGRT Bute Airfield, coming in from the east at a heading of 264.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 333 feet above ground level and was 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.

The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 39 knots, and the touchdown distance was a respectable 20 meters. The touchdown speed was 37 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -300 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline by 16.4 meters, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing path.

Throughout the flight, the local weather conditions remained consistent, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots, providing a relatively stable and calm environment for the flight.

In conclusion, the flight, piloted by Savage Grravel, was a smooth and efficient operation, with the aircraft performing well in terms of climb, cruise, and landing. The flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 4 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported.

Landing Summary

The Savage Grravel: Special Edition aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at EGRT Bute Airfield, achieving a score of 83.6%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 333 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good touchdown distance of 20 meters, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed was 37 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 39 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have maintained a more stable descent.

One notable issue during the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 16.4 meters off the centerline. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, and it is essential to address this issue to improve the overall landing performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the stable approach and landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more stable descent and aligning the aircraft with the centerline of the runway.
