Arrival
The flight began with the AT802 Aerial Application Sprayer taking off from a location 1 mile south west of La Teste-de-Buch in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France. The aircraft started its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,500 ft above sea level, rapidly increasing to 878 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This impressive climb showcased the aircraft's capabilities.
As the aircraft approached the landing ground, it began its final approach to LFBC Cazaux (BA 120) Air Base Cazaux in La Teste-de-Buch. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 809 ft above ground level to 1 nm, maintaining a steady altitude. This final approach was a crucial phase of the flight, requiring precision and control.
The aircraft then began its descent, touching down 2 miles south west of LFBC Cazaux (BA 120) Air Base Cazaux. However, the touchdown speed of 77 knots was excessively fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to adjust their approach. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to absorb the impact of landing.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the excessive speed. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, maintaining an altitude of 68 ft above sea level. The distance covered during the rollout was 560 meters. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 9 kilograms of fuel during the entire flight.
Overall, the flight demonstrated the capabilities of the AT802 Aerial Application Sprayer, showcasing its ability to climb, descend, and land with precision. However, the excessive touchdown speed highlighted the need for the pilot to adjust their approach to ensure a smoother landing.

The AT802 Aerial Application Sprayer aircraft successfully landed at Air Base Cazaux in La Teste-de-Buch, France, with a score of 76.3%. The final approach to landing was initiated from a distance of 1 nautical mile, at an altitude of 809 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then descended to a height of 46 feet agl before touching down, demonstrating a controlled and precise landing.
The descent from 46 feet agl to 0 feet agl was completed in a short period of 12 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's ability to rapidly adjust its altitude. However, the touchdown speed of 77 knots was found to be excessively fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking or control inputs to achieve a smoother landing.
On the positive side, the touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -86 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly, reducing the risk of damage or injury. Additionally, the touchdown point was located 101 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the excessive speed at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 160 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, allowing the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft.
Following touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 68 feet above sea level (asl). The distance covered during the rollout was 560 meters, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely.
