The aircraft, a DA40-XLS, then departed from runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field, utilizing a takeoff distance of 368 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 65 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 30R, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 25 seconds, also covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which involved a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 104.5 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 73 seconds. The base leg turn, which followed, covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 4.6 degrees. The final approach to runway 30R was made from the southeast, with a heading of 313.0 degrees at an altitude of 480 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 30R was successful, with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 66 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 213 meters, and the touchdown speed was 56 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 320 degrees.

The total landing distance was 354 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft was taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field in the DA40-XLS

Landing Score 98.07 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at KBFL Meadows Field, achieving a score of 98.1%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 313.0° at 2 nautical miles and 480 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 30R.

The runway at KBFL Meadows Field has a length of 2,256 meters, providing a safe margin for the aircraft's landing. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement.

The touchdown distance of 213 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also good. The touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 320°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, which did not pose a significant challenge for the aircraft. The total landing distance of 354 meters was only 16% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled landing.

The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the DA40-XLS aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
