This flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, a type of single-engine, four-seat plane. The flight began with an enroute level cruise, which started approximately 1 mile northwest of Helgoland, a small island located in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This initial phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the Helgoland-Düne Airport, it began its final approach to runway 03. The approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 23.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 133 feet above ground level (agl) and had traveled 0 nautical miles. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 377 meters. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should be traveling as it crosses the runway threshold, was good at 78 knots. However, the touchdown speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down on the runway, was slightly too fast at 74 knots. The touchdown rate, which is the rate at which the aircraft descends to the ground, was fair at -295 feet per minute.
The landing distance, which is the distance traveled by the aircraft from the point at which it touches down to the point at which it comes to a stop, was 273 meters. This represents 73% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft's path as it rolls out of the runway, was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 59 degrees. There was no significant crosswind or headwind, with both components being 1 knot. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight used no fuel during the 2-minute duration.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EDXH Helgoland-Düne Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 23.0° at an altitude of 133 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 03.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for touchdown. The threshold speed of 78 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance characteristics. However, the touchdown speed of 74 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -295 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown rate was still considered fair.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a consistent and accurate approach path. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 59°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 273 meters was 73% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in executing a precise and controlled approach and landing.
