Next time

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.

What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.

Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.

See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA40 taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft achieved a take-off distance of 347 m, representing 14 % of the runway, and lifted off at 61 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

During the left-hand pattern the aircraft entered the circuit from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The subsequent left-hand cross-wind leg also spanned less than 1 nm, taking 24 seconds. The downwind turn was executed over a 1 nm arc with a 145.0° angle to the runway, followed by a 1 nm downwind leg completed in 44 seconds. The base-leg turn covered another 1 nm with a 15.0° angle to the runway, after which the aircraft established the final approach to runway 23.

On final approach the aircraft descended from 350 ft agl to 43 ft agl in 46 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria. The descent was performed under the same weather conditions reported for take-off.

The landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2 490 m. Threshold speed was recorded at 72 kt, and touchdown occurred 297 m down the runway at 54 kt with a vertical speed of minus 93 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was perfect, and the runway touchdown height was within expectations.

Rollout continued with perfect runway alignment and a total landing distance of 470 m, equivalent to 19 % of the runway length. The aircraft remained aligned throughout the rollout phase.

In total the flight covered 4 nm, required a duration of 3, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40 made its final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, descending from 350 ft agl to 43 ft agl in 46 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft encountered a runway length of 2,490 m, achieved a good threshold height and maintained a good threshold speed of 72 kt.

Touchdown occurred 297 m down the runway at a good speed of 54 kt, with an excellent touchdown rate of minus 93 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment; local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 470 m, representing 19 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

With a score of 93.7 % the landing was strong; fine-tuning flare height consistency will help keep touchdown points tightly centred on the aim point, and monitoring touchdown rate trends will maintain the excellent rate already achieved.
