The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at Glasgow International Airport, with the DA42-VI aircraft taking off after a distance of 659 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 77 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was navigated in less than 1 nautical mile in 8 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and making an angle of 59.4 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 86 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was made next, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles and making an angle of 35.6 degrees to the runway. The base leg was then navigated in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 228 degrees at an altitude of 126.5 meters above ground level.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 63 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -0.7 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed successfully, with good control and smooth landing.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPF Glasgow International Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 97.93 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPF Glasgow International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 228.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway and an altitude of 126.5 meters above ground level.

The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the landing, touching down on runway 23, which has a length of 2,353 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 86 knots was also satisfactory, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled descent.

The touchdown point was located 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 63 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -0.7 meters per second was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled impact with the runway.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.

Overall, the DA42-VI aircraft's landing at EGPF Glasgow International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent flying skills and attention to detail. The high score of 97.9% reflects the aircraft's performance and the pilot's ability to execute a precise and controlled landing.
