Arrival Final 1

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 flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the DA40-NG aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 308 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 65 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 274 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, covering 1 nautical mile in 50 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a significant portion of the flight, covering 2 nautical miles and featuring an angle to the runway of 48.8 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 86 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was a shorter segment, covering 1 nautical mile and featuring an angle to the runway of 17.3 degrees. The final approach to runway 23 was made from the north-east, with a heading of 210 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 337 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a threshold speed of 72 knots and a touchdown distance of 248 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 57 knots, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -84 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

The total landing distance was 532 meters, and the total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, which was completed in 7 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 210.0° at 1 nautical mile and 337 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a standard procedure, taking advantage of the prevailing wind conditions to minimize the impact of crosswinds.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 72 knots being achieved. This speed is considered good, as it indicates a controlled descent and a high degree of situational awareness from the pilot. The touchdown distance of 248 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final stages of the approach.

The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The touchdown rate of -84 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, as it suggests a high degree of precision and control from the pilot. This rate is considered excellent, as it indicates a minimal impact on the aircraft's landing gear and a reduced risk of damage.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and consistent heading throughout the approach. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft remains aligned with the runway and minimizes the risk of deviation.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 273°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, which made the landing even more straightforward. The total landing distance of 532 meters was 29% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft remains aligned with the runway and minimizes the risk of deviation. Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing.
