Top opportunity

Improve the pattern base leg

Pattern Base Leg

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 228.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 233 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 58 knots, which is well within the acceptable threshold speed of 69 knots. The touchdown distance of 198 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -142 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrated a gentle and stable landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control.

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 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The pilots' ability to navigate the aircraft safely and smoothly in these conditions is a testament to their skill and experience.

Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a textbook example of safe and controlled flight operations. The pilots' attention to detail, adherence to standard procedures, and exceptional piloting skills all contributed to a successful and incident-free landing.
