The flight began with a Pioneer Enroute climb from the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft, taking off from Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport, located in Staffordshire, England. The climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 271 feet above sea level to 1,125 feet above sea level, a total increase of 854 feet in just 1 minute. This rapid ascent covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting overhead the airport. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The cruise phase was a brief but crucial part of the flight, allowing the aircraft to reach a stable altitude and prepare for the final approach.
The final approach to runway 34 at Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 335.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 116 feet above ground level and had covered a distance of 0 nautical miles. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around, bringing the aircraft to an altitude of 13 feet above ground level.
After the go-around, the aircraft successfully landed on runway 34, which had a length of 780 meters. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed of 42 knots, and touchdown distance of 265 meters. The touchdown speed was also good at 19 knots, and the touchdown rate was a respectable -160 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a precise and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were mild, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. These conditions were favorable for the landing, allowing the aircraft to touch down smoothly and safely.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a pioneering aircraft, successfully landed at EGBO Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport on runway 34. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 335.0° at an altitude of 116 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should touch down on the runway, was slightly below the target speed at 32 knots. However, this was still considered acceptable, and the pilot's ability to adjust the speed accordingly was evident.
The landing was further enhanced by a good touchdown distance of 265 meters, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and control. The touchdown speed of 19 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -160 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned perfectly with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft is properly positioned on the runway and can be safely brought to a stop.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions made the landing even more challenging, but the pilot's skills and experience were able to overcome them.
Overall, the landing of the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen at EGBO Wolverhampton Halfpenny Green Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
