This flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, taking off from LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey. The enroute climb began approximately 4 miles south of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 1,498 feet above sea level to a slightly higher altitude of 1,493 feet above sea level, a mere 5-foot increase, within less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it was heading south towards runway 35L, located at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport. The final approach was initiated at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 1,377 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35L, which has a length of 3,004 meters, was executed with a threshold height that was above the target, but the threshold speed was satisfactory at 72 knots.
However, the touchdown point was significantly long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 23.1 meters from the centerline, indicating a deviation from the intended path.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was negligible at 0 knots. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, covering the distance in 4 minutes, and the aircraft consumed approximately 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed on runway 35L at LTBA İstanbul Atatürk Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot achieved a final approach from the south, heading 359.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,377 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 83.4%.
The pilot's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with the threshold height being above the target at 62 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was good at 72 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. Unfortunately, the touchdown point was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive with the landing, or there may have been some issues with the aircraft's performance.
The touchdown speed of 70 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to the long touchdown point. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 23.1 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the pilot's aggressive approach or some issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, and there was no headwind. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
