A Boeing C-17 departed from a location in the vicinity of EGBP Cotswold Airport Kemble, Gloucestershire, England, initiating its enroute climb phase. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 445 feet above sea level to 529 feet above sea level, achieving a vertical climb of 84 feet in just 2 minutes while covering a horizontal distance of 3 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of a controlled ascent, with the aircraft transitioning into a steady climb phase.

As the C-17 approached the final approach phase, it aligned itself with runway 08 at EGBP Cotswold Airport, descending from an altitude of 109 feet above ground level. However, a go-around procedure was initiated at an altitude of 18 feet above ground level, necessitating a rapid climb to re-establish a safe altitude. Following the go-around, the aircraft successfully executed a landing on runway 08, which measured 1,618 meters in length. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 56 knots was well below the target value, ensuring a stable approach. The touchdown distance of 315 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 43 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute was particularly impressive, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The aircraft's landing performance was further enhanced by its perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, contributed to a relatively calm environment. The total landing distance of 513 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length, was a testament to the crew's skill and the aircraft's capabilities. The flight, which covered a total distance of 9 nautical miles, utilized 2 kilograms of fuel and lasted for 10 minutes.
