What went well

Touchdown 212 m in — inside the full-score zone
Airborne in 608 m — 53 % of the runway
Held the centreline on the roll — 0.54 m off at liftoff

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Runway alignment max 19.42 m right at 40 %, Touchdown rate was -238 fpm. at 65 %, −1.78 points
Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 90 kt at 56 %, −0.73 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 90 %, −0.67 points

Next time

Departure

Rotate the moment the speed tape reaches 70 kt, not after it.

What happened: Rotation was held until 90 kt, 20 kt past the 70 kt rotation target. Carrying that much extra speed into rotation usually adds unwanted energy right at liftoff.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the 70 kt rotation target.

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 293 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 238 fpm.

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at EGBJ Gloucestershire Airport in less than one minute, covering less than one nautical mile.

During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft used 609 m of runway, representing 53 % of the available length, and lifted off at 90 kt; ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind from 239° at 10 kt, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.

The initial climb commenced overhead EGBJ, ascending from 691 ft asl to 8,009 ft asl, a gain of 7,318 ft achieved in six minutes while traversing ten nautical miles.

Level cruise began over Frampton on Severn, lasting five minutes and covering eleven nautical miles.

A descent followed over Wotton-under-Edge, dropping from 8,005 ft asl to 7,002 ft asl, a loss of 1,004 ft in two minutes across four nautical miles.

The next cruise segment was over EGNZ Bowldown Farm Airstrip, lasting five minutes and encompassing thirteen nautical miles.

Subsequent descent over Latton reduced altitude from 6,734 ft asl to 4,403 ft asl, a decrease of 2,331 ft in three minutes while covering nine nautical miles.

Cruise then continued one mile west of Alvescot for thirteen minutes, during which thirty-two nautical miles were flown.

Descent over Kidlington lowered the aircraft from 4,008 ft asl to 1,728 ft asl, a loss of 2,280 ft in five minutes over twelve nautical miles.

A brief cruise segment one mile south-east of Adderbury lasted three minutes and spanned six nautical miles.

Descent south-east of Steeple Aston brought the aircraft from 1,539 ft asl to 815 ft asl, a reduction of 724 ft in two minutes across two nautical miles.

Climb resumed overhead Tackley, rising from 807 ft asl to 4,676 ft asl, an increase of 3,869 ft achieved in six minutes while covering nine nautical miles.

Level cruise over Charlbury persisted for five minutes, covering eight nautical miles.

Descent west of Bledington dropped the aircraft from 4,921 ft asl to 2,510 ft asl, a loss of 2,411 ft in three minutes over seven nautical miles.

The final cruise leg was one mile west of Naunton, lasting four minutes and encompassing seven nautical miles.

For the final approach to runway 27, the aircraft aligned from the east on a heading of 266.0°, intercepting the approach at four nautical miles and 1,321 ft agl.

Landing on runway 27, which is 1,149 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 72 kt; touchdown occurred 212 m down the runway at 60 kt with a vertical speed of minus 192 fpm, though the touchdown point was offset by 19.4 m from the centreline. Weather conditions remained temperature 16 °C, wind 10 kt from 239°, cross-wind 4 kt and head-wind 9 kt.

In total, the flight covered 135 nm, required 67 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 31 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star approached runway 27 at EGBJ Gloucestershire Airport from the east on a heading of 266.0° at 4 nm and 1,321 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.

During the threshold and flare phase the runway length of 1,149 m provided a good threshold height. Threshold speed was good at 72 kt, touchdown distance was good at 212 m, touchdown speed was good at 60 kt and touchdown rate was good at -192 fpm.

Touchdown occurred with the aircraft landing position significantly misaligned by 19.4 m from the centreline.

Maintain the overall high standard reflected by the 93.4 % score, but concentrate on improving lateral alignment to keep touchdown within a tighter centreline envelope. Adjusting the final approach track to reduce the 19.4 m offset will enhance consistency without compromising the already strong performance.
