Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft, a lightweight and versatile plane. The flight began with an enroute climb from the Isle of Islay's EGPI Airport, located in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The aircraft took off from a height of 58 feet above sea level and rapidly ascended to 1,031 feet, a vertical gain of 973 feet, in just one minute while covering a distance of one nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting from the same location, and maintained a steady altitude for two minutes, covering a distance of two nautical miles. This phase allowed the aircraft to reach a stable cruising altitude and prepare for the final approach to the runway.
The final approach to runway 31 at EGPI Islay Airport was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 308.0 degrees. At a distance of one nautical mile from the runway, the aircraft was at an altitude of 420 feet above ground level. The pilot successfully executed a smooth landing on the 1,268-meter-long runway, with a threshold height that was deemed good.
The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 25 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 26 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 105 meters. The aircraft's descent rate was perfectly controlled, with a rate of -43 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions during the flight were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance was 290 meters, which was only 23% of the runway's length. This indicates that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the distance required to come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful and smooth operation, with the aircraft performing well under the pilot's control. The total flight distance was four nautical miles, and the flight duration was five minutes, with no fuel being consumed during the flight.

Flaps Position 1 at 20:24:01 |
The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen successfully landed at EGPI Islay Airport, showcasing its capabilities as a pioneering aircraft. The final approach to runway 31 was executed from the south east, with a heading of 308.0° at 1 nautical mile and 420 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the aircraft to touch down safely on the runway.
The landing was carried out on a runway with a length of 1,268 meters, providing ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 26 knots was maintained, allowing the aircraft to touch down smoothly.
The touchdown distance of 105 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to control its descent and come to a stop quickly. The touchdown speed of 25 knots was also well within the expected range, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down efficiently. The touchdown rate of -43 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was able to touch down with minimal impact.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down. This is crucial for safe landing and takeoff operations. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots, providing a gentle push against the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 290 meters was only 23% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline as it came to a stop.
