Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cotswold Airport, located in Gloucestershire, England, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 26. The aircraft accelerated down the 1,618-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 52 knots in a distance of 772 meters, which accounted for approximately 48% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an initial altitude of 1,166 feet above sea level to 953 feet, a net increase of 214 feet over a period of 1 minute. This climb phase was initiated approximately 1 mile west of Cotswold Airport, near the village of Kemble. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 953 feet as it traversed 4 nautical miles in a duration of 3 minutes, with the cruise phase commencing 1 mile northwest of Crudwell, in Wiltshire, England.

Upon approaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 164 feet above ground level, heading towards runway 26 at Cotswold Airport from the east. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 33 knots, with a touchdown rate of -11 feet per minute, which was considered perfect. However, the touchdown point was located 150 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained consistent with the departure conditions, featuring a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. The total flight distance covered was 8 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 6 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1 kilogram.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 26 at EGBP Cotswold Airport, a 1,618-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was above the target, coming in at 56 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's high approach speed. The touchdown point was 150 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown.

The touchdown speed of 33 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -11 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light headwind of 1 knot from 269 degrees.

The overall score for the landing was 94.4%, indicating a good but not perfect performance. The approach and touchdown phases were well-executed, but the misaligned touchdown and slightly long touchdown point detracted from the score. Despite this, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision, and the landing was safe and controlled.
