This flight was conducted in a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The enroute climb began over Newcastle Airport in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, where the aircraft lifted off from a height of 275 feet above sea level. Within a minute, the aircraft had climbed to 1,114 feet above sea level, an increase of 840 feet, while covering less than a nautical mile. This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, also starting over Newcastle Airport. During this 2-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This stable cruise phase allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 25 at Newcastle Airport, approaching from the north-east at a heading of 232.0 degrees. At a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway, the aircraft was at an altitude of 483 feet above ground level. The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on the 2,114-meter runway, with a threshold height that was deemed satisfactory.
Upon landing, the pilot noted that the threshold speed was higher than the target speed, reaching 79 knots. The touchdown distance was also considered good, measuring 414 meters. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -31 feet per minute was perfect. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.8 meters.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, covering a duration of 4 minutes and consuming 2 kilograms of fuel.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EGNT Newcastle Airport, achieving a score of 99.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 232.0° at 1 nautical mile and 483 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 25.
The runway in question is 2,114 meters long, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient clearance to safely navigate the aircraft over the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 79 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or other factors.
The touchdown distance of 414 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft and was able to bring it to a stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown speed of 50 kt was also reported as good, suggesting that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and was able to touch down at a safe speed. The touchdown rate of -31 fpm was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a smooth and controlled descent.
One minor issue was noted during the landing, with the runway touchdown position being slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor error in navigation. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt, which may have affected the pilot's approach and landing. However, the pilot was able to successfully navigate these conditions and complete a safe landing.
