Next time

Departure

Smooth the elevator and power inputs during the roll to keep g force steady, rather than letting it spike to 0.4 g.

What happened: The ground roll saw abrupt g force loading of 0.4 g, and the climb then carried 0.4 g of similar rough handling.

Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady loading through the roll and climb

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

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

This flight began with a departure roll on runway 23 at Inverness Airport (EGPE), where the aircraft, a DA40-NG, lifted off the ground within a short distance of just 359 meters, which was 20% of the runway's length. The aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 67 knots, reaching the necessary height for takeoff quickly.

Upon entering the traffic pattern, the pilot made a left-hand entry from runway 23, covering less than one nautical mile in just 18 seconds. Following this, a left-hand pattern turn with crosswind, also required navigating less than one nautical mile in a short span of 26 seconds.

During the pattern, the downwind leg of the flight was completed in about 97 seconds, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft during different phases of flight.

As the aircraft prepared for its final approach, it aimed for runway 23, flying in from the north-east with a heading of 229.0 degrees, and maintaining an altitude of 121 feet above ground level.

The landing itself was successful, with the DA40-NG touching down smoothly at 375 meters, which represented just 33% of the runway's length. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 54 knots was well-aligned with the expected threshold speed of 73 knots, showcasing the pilot's skill and expertise in handling the aircraft during landing. Upon touching down, the pilot skillfully managed the aircraft's descent, achieving a touchdown rate of -68 feet per minute, which was deemed excellent.

Upon reaching the end of the runway, the total landing distance covered was 593 meters. The runway rollout alignment was found to be perfect, further highlighting the pilot's ability to control the aircraft smoothly during landing.

In the end, the total flight distance was a mere 2 nautical miles, which the pilot completed within 4 minutes. The flight also consumed a modest 1 kilogram of fuel, making it an efficient operation.

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully completed a landing at Inverness Airport (EGPE) on Runway 23. The approach was initiated from the northeast, aligning itself with the runway heading of 229.0 degrees, indicating accurate navigation and pilot control. As the aircraft descended to 0 nm and 121 feet above ground level (agl), it was well-positioned for a smooth touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a good threshold height achieved. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 73 knots, allowing the aircraft to touch down safely within the designated area. The touchdown distance of 375 meters was reasonable, taking into account the aircraft's size and type. Moreover, the touchdown speed of 54 knots was within the acceptable range, further showcasing the pilot's expertise.

One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -68 feet per minute (fpm). This indicated that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, which is crucial for safe landings. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate and control the aircraft during its final stages of descent.

Weather conditions at the time of landing were pleasant, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270 degrees. Although there was a slight crosswind of 1 knot, the headwind of 2 knots helped to mitigate any adverse effects. These conditions made for an ideal landing environment, and the pilot's skills were able to shine through.

After touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained precise control during the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 593 meters was only 33% of the available runway length, which is considered acceptable for a DA40-NG aircraft landing on a runway of 1814 meters. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities, demonstrating a high level of precision and control throughout the entire landing process.
