Departing from Cotswold Airport (EGBP), the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche began its takeoff roll on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 68 kt in a distance of 320 m, which represented 20% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 82.7° to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nm in 62 seconds, allowing the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and adjust the approach as necessary. Upon entering the base leg, the aircraft turned through an angle of 27.6° to the runway, setting up for a final approach from the east. The pilot maintained a steady heading of 259.0° at an altitude of 143 ft agl, before touching down on the runway at a speed of 43 kt and a distance of 98 m, which represented 6% of the available runway length.

The landing was characterized by a perfect touchdown rate of 18 fpm and a runway touchdown alignment that was spot on. The total landing distance of 336 m, which accounted for 21% of the runway length, was well within acceptable limits.
