Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at Whakatane Airport, where the DA62 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 846 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 103 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, with no crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed out of Whakatane Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 5,103 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb started from an initial altitude of 787 feet above sea level. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying for 30 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nautical miles, 2 miles east of Matata.

The enroute descent started 11 miles northeast of Mercer Airport, where the aircraft descended from 5,220 feet above sea level to 4,329 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in the Diamond DA62
Landing Score 94.28 %
Landing Summary

The DA62 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) with a score of 94.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 238.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,465 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 79 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 104 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the designated area. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions were favorable for landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 knot. The total landing distance of 825 meters was 25% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 10.3 meters. Despite this minor deviation, the landing was considered successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance. Overall, the DA62's landing performance was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement.
