Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 70 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 89 kt, 19 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 70 kt at liftoff

See 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 Diamond DA42 Twin Star taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced its departure roll. The aircraft accelerated through a take-off distance of 1,065 m, representing 43 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 89 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

During the climb the aircraft rose from 1,013 ft asl to 1,489 ft asl, an increase of 475 ft achieved in less than one minute while covering less than one nautical mile, with the climb beginning overhead Donderen in the province of Drenthe.

Level cruise commenced over the same point, Donderen, and was maintained for three minutes during which the aircraft covered seven nautical miles.

The descent phase began over Noordlaren in the province of Groningen, descending from 1,458 ft asl to 845 ft asl, a loss of 613 ft in two minutes while traversing three nautical miles.

On final approach to runway 23 at EHGG, the aircraft descended from 909 ft agl to 37 ft agl in 117 seconds and satisfied the stabilisation gates.

Landing was executed on runway 23, whose total length is 2,490 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 78 kt. Touchdown occurred 306 m down the runway at a speed of 60 kt with a vertical rate of minus 288 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the centreline. Local weather at landing was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

Rollout continued with a total landing distance of 480 m, representing 19 % of the runway, and the alignment remained perfect throughout the ground run.

In summary, the flight covered a total of 16 nm, required nine minutes of elapsed time, and consumed four kilograms of fuel.

Landing Score 99.44 %
Landing Summary

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star approached runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, descending from 909 ft AGL to 37 ft AGL in 117 seconds and receiving a score on the stabilisation gates.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height, while the threshold speed was slightly below target at 78 kt.

Touchdown occurred 306 m down the runway at a speed of 60 kt, with a fair vertical rate of minus 288 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.

The rollout covered a total of 480 m, representing 19 % of the 2,490 m runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect.

To bring the already strong performance toward perfection, focus on reducing the touchdown vertical rate to the target range and fine-tune the approach speed to meet the prescribed threshold speed.
