This flight involved an AT802 Firefighting aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 1 mile southwest of La Teste-de-Buch in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 1,500 feet above sea level and successfully climbed to 1,057 feet above sea level, a gain of 443 feet in just 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the Cazaux (BA 120) Air Base, it began its final approach to landing. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 980 feet above ground level to 1 nautical mile away from the air base, maintaining a steady altitude. The approach was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent, setting the stage for a safe touchdown.
Upon approaching the touchdown point, the aircraft began its descent from 45 feet above ground level to a complete stop at 0 feet above ground level. This descent took a mere 9 seconds, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and control. The touchdown itself was marked by a speed of 57 knots, which was considered good, and a smooth rate of -146 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 278 meters was also deemed satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots blowing from a direction of 160 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the aircraft to land safely.
In conclusion, the flight was a success, with the aircraft completing a total distance of 5 nautical miles in 4 minutes while consuming 10 kilograms of fuel. The pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance were evident throughout the flight, resulting in a smooth and safe landing at the Cazaux (BA 120) Air Base.
