This climb phase, which lasted approximately 2 minutes, resulted in an increase of 1,353 feet in altitude and a horizontal displacement of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft's climb performance was satisfactory, demonstrating a steady rate of ascent.
As the aircraft approached the Bugalaga Airstrip, it began its final approach to runway 24 from the east, aligning itself with the runway heading of 248.0 degrees. The aircraft maintained a safe altitude of 54 feet above ground level at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target, at 56 knots. The touchdown distance of 87 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 51 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate of 78 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The landing was completed on runway 24, which has a length of 461 meters. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.3 meters. Local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots from 304 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance of 183 meters was 40% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft used a total of 4 kilograms of fuel for the 3-nautical-mile flight, which lasted approximately 2 minutes.
