Know your rotation speed

Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at 1WA6 Fall City Airport, a small airfield in Washington, United States. The DA42-VI aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 455 meters, which was 68% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 81 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 32°C temperature and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile west of Fall City, where the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,141 feet above sea level to 3,536 feet, an increase of 2,395 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile northwest of Klahanie. During this 2-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started overhead Sammamish, where the aircraft descended from 3,453 feet to 1,122 feet, a decrease of 2,331 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The flight continued with another enroute climb phase, which started 1 mile west of Inglewood-Finn Hill. The aircraft ascended from 1,145 feet to 2,226 feet, an increase of 1,081 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase began 2 miles north of the Seattle Seaplanes Seaplane Base, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft entered another enroute descent phase, which started 4 miles east of Bell Hill. The aircraft descended from 2,608 feet to 1,384 feet, a decrease of 1,224 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at W28 Sequim Valley was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 287.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,240 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 27 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 65 knots and a touchdown distance of 177 meters, which was 32% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was -154 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind of 4 knots from a direction of 319°.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 65 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes. The aircraft used 21 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at W28 Sequim Valley, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 27 was executed from the east, with the aircraft heading 287.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the good threshold height and the fact that the aircraft was able to maintain a steady heading.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 69 knots, which is a good threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 177 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within a safe range. The touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the pilot had a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 319°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 346 meters was only 32% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude, and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and had not deviated from the centerline of the runway. Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and control of the aircraft.
