Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 06 at KTTN Trenton Mercer Airport, where the DA42-VI aircraft took off after covering a distance of 2,823 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 73 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 06, and the entry was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in just 6 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated in under 1 nautical mile, but this time it took 23 seconds to complete. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course for 0 nautical miles.

The downwind leg of the pattern was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 59 seconds, after which the aircraft began its approach to runway 06. The runway length was 6,007 feet, and the threshold height at 115 feet above ground level was found to be excessively high, while the threshold speed was also excessively high at 112 knots.

The touchdown point was located 1,117 feet beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 69 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -102 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 272°.

The total landing distance was 4,047 feet, which accounted for 67% of the runway, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute.

The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes, during which the aircraft used 36 pounds of fuel. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with good control and navigation throughout.

Landing report
Landing on runway 06 at KTTN Trenton Mercer Airport in the Diamond DA42 Twin Star
Landing Score 74.27 %
Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed on runway 06 at KTTN Trenton Mercer Airport, achieving a score of 74.3%. The landing was evaluated based on several key parameters, including threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown point, touchdown speed, touchdown rate, runway touchdown alignment, and runway rollout alignment.

One area of concern was the threshold height, which was excessively over target at 115 ft agl. This indicates that the aircraft touched down higher than the recommended height, which could potentially affect the overall safety and control of the landing. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 112 kn, suggesting that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or not following the recommended approach speed.

Despite these issues, the touchdown point was 1,117 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 69 kn was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a reasonable speed. The touchdown rate of -102 fpm was also smooth, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and able to maintain control during the landing. The local weather conditions were also favorable, with a temperature of 59 °F and a wind speed of 2 kn at 272 °. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 kn each, which suggests that the aircraft was not significantly affected by wind during the landing.

The total landing distance was 4,047 ft, which is 67% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and alignment during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, while there were some areas of concern during the landing, the DA42-VI aircraft was able to successfully land on runway 06 at KTTN Trenton Mercer Airport. With some adjustments to the approach speed and threshold height, the aircraft should be able to achieve a higher score on future landings.
