The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGMG Melrose Farm Airstrip. The aircraft, a Microsoft PA28-236 Dakota, accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 189 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 70 knots, marking the start of the enroute climb.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airstrip, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind of 5 knots at 291 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead EGMG Melrose Farm Airstrip, Melbourne, and continued to an altitude of 2,449 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,404 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Bubwith, East Riding of Yorkshire. This phase of the flight lasted for 16 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 35 nautical miles. The cruise was followed by a descent, which began 1 mile east of Tuxford, Nottinghamshire. The aircraft descended from 2,332 feet to 1,173 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,160 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south-east of Laxton, Nottinghamshire, and lasted for 39 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at EG32 Langar Airfield was made from the north-east, heading 242.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 237 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed on runway 25, which had a length of 1,140 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 82 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 192 meters, but the touchdown speed of 80 knots was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those encountered during the departure, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind of 5 knots at 293 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 953 meters, accounting for 84% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in less than 1 minute. The total flight distance was 59 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used 12 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The aircraft, a PA28-236 Dakota, successfully landed at EG32 Langar Airfield, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 242.0° at 1 nautical mile and 237 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a standard procedure, taking advantage of the prevailing wind conditions to minimize the impact of crosswinds.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 1,140 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 82 knots. This may have been due to the pilot's cautious approach or the aircraft's performance characteristics.
The touchdown distance of 192 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 80 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a higher touchdown rate. Fortunately, the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was still within safe limits, indicating that the pilot was able to absorb the impact of the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.0 meters, which may have been due to the pilot's judgment of the runway's centerline or the aircraft's alignment during the approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 293°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were likely taken into account by the pilot during the approach and landing phases.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 84% of the runway length. The pilot's performance was commendable, demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in navigating the aircraft through the approach and landing phases.
