The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22 at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base. The DA 40 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 164 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 70 knots.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it encountered a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 239 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern, entering the circuit from runway 22. The distance covered during this maneuver was less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds.

The pilot then executed a left-hand pattern crosswind, which was completed in 23 seconds. The subsequent pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 82.2 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 50 seconds.

The base leg turn was executed with a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 31.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 29 seconds. The final turn was a short maneuver, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 from the north-east, heading 226.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 677 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 1,135 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 76 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 364 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained consistent, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 239 degrees.

The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 22 at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base in the DA 40

Landing Score 92.94 %

Landing Summary

The DA 40 aircraft successfully landed at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base, with a score of 92.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 226.0° at 1 nautical mile and 677 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 22, which has a length of 1,135 meters.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 76 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 364 meters, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also smooth at -134 feet per minute (fpm), which is a desirable rate for a safe landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 239°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was well-handled by the pilot. The score of 92.9% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot in conducting a safe and controlled landing.
