What went well

Touched down at -60 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 213 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 13 ft and 68 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Pattern Downwind — Average altitude 836 ft agl at 75 %, −0.36 points

Next time

Arrival

Level off and trim for level flight earlier after the turn, holding the standard circuit altitude on downwind.

What happened: You flew the downwind leg at 836 ft agl, above the correct circuit height for this pattern.

Watch for: Altimeter: the normal circuit height on downwind.

See Pattern Downwind

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA40 taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 374 m, representing 15 % of the runway, and lifted off at 63 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

After departure, the pilot entered a left-hand pattern on runway 23, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 19 seconds.

The aircraft then proceeded to the left-hand cross-wind leg of the pattern, again traveling less than 1 nm, this time in 26 seconds.

Subsequently, the aircraft executed the downwind turn, flying a 2 nm leg with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees measured at 160.4°.

For the final approach, the DA40 landed on runway 23, whose length is 2,490 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 69 kt. Touchdown occurred 212 m down the runway at 54 kt with a vertical speed of minus 60 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the runway centreline. Weather at landing remained 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

Rollout was completed with a total landing distance of 363 m, equivalent to 15 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.

In total, the flight covered 3 nm, required approximately 3 minutes of flight time, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

Diamond DA40 approached runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, a 2,490 m runway, in temperature 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269° and a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt. The aircraft remained aligned with the centreline throughout the final approach.

At the threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below target at 69 kt.

Touchdown occurred 212 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt, which was judged good, with a touchdown rate of -60 fpm rated excellent, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 363 m, representing 15 % of the runway length, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

With a perfect score of 100.0 %, performance was exemplary; refining the approach to achieve the exact target threshold speed would tighten the already excellent technique.
