Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at X6BU Bute, where the aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 59 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 48 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 265 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of EGRT Bute Airfield Rothesay, located in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb started at an altitude of 166 meters above sea level and reached a height of 222 meters above sea level, an increase of 55.1 meters, in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles northeast of EGRT Bute Airfield Rothesay.

As the aircraft approached the airfield for landing, it began its final approach to runway 09 from the west, heading in a direction of 83.0 degrees at an altitude of 21.3 meters above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 37 knots. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at 0.3 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 405 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway.

Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 09 at EGRT Bute Airfield in the Sirius
Landing Score 96.33 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGRT Bute Airfield, achieving a score of 96.3%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 83.0° at an altitude of 21.3 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 50 knots. The touchdown point was located further down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length of 550 meters. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 37 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of 0.3 meters per second was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance of 405 meters was 74% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration.

Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the Sirius aircraft performed well during the landing at EGRT Bute Airfield, with the only notable area for improvement being the slightly below-target threshold speed.
