Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, which took off from a location 3 miles northwest of OMF1 Yas Island Abu Dhabi, a small airfield in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The initial climb phase began at an altitude of 1,500 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 1,814 feet, resulting in a net gain of 314 feet over a distance of 2 nautical miles in just 1 minute.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered the enroute descent phase, which started 5 miles northwest of OMF1 Yas Island Abu Dhabi. The descent from 1,830 feet to 1,246 feet above sea level resulted in a decrease of 584 feet over a distance of 3 nautical miles in 2 minutes. This phase of the flight was completed before the aircraft began its final approach to runway 13L at OMAA Zayed International Airport.
The final approach to runway 13L was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 127.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. At an altitude of 1,172 feet above ground level, the aircraft began its descent towards the runway. The landing was executed smoothly, with a threshold speed of 70 knots and a touchdown speed of 58 knots. The touchdown distance was 369 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown rate of -91 feet per minute, which was considered excellent.
However, the landing was not entirely flawless, as the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the total landing distance of 803 meters was only 20% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, which was completed in 6 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with a good balance between speed, altitude, and distance.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at OMAA Zayed International Airport, achieving a high score of 93.3%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 127.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,172 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.
Upon landing on runway 13L, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 70 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 369 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the landing process. The touchdown speed of 58 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -91 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to slight variations in wind or pilot control. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, did not pose significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 and 2 knots, respectively.
The total landing distance of 803 meters was 20% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had maintained good control and precision throughout the landing process. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to slight variations in wind or pilot control.
Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft demonstrated good landing performance, with a high score of 93.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, the pilot had maintained good control and precision throughout the landing process, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown.
