This flight was conducted on an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft, a lightweight and versatile aircraft designed for recreational flying. The flight began with an enroute climb, which started overhead Dinnington, a location near Newcastle upon Tyne in England. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 268 feet above sea level to 1,000 feet above sea level, a vertical gain of 731 feet, in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Ponteland in Northumberland, England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25 at Newcastle Airport, which is located in the north-east of the airport, heading in a direction of 245.0 degrees at an altitude of 105 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 38 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 321 meters, and the touchdown speed was a safe 18 knots. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect -26 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions during the flight were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 223 degrees. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the flight. Overall, the flight was a success, with a total distance of 3 nautical miles covered in 4 minutes and a fuel consumption of 9 kilograms.
