The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 22 °C and a wind speed of 10 kt from 150 °, resulting in a crosswind of 4 kt and a headwind of 9 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 604 ft asl to 3,465 ft asl, an increase of 2,862 ft, in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nm. The climb was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted 3 minutes and covered 6 nm, starting 3 miles south west of Werribee.
The enroute descent began 4 miles north of Little River, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,668 ft asl to 1,318 ft asl, a decrease of 1,349 ft, in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. The final approach to runway 18 at YMAV Avalon Airport was made from the north, heading 186.0 °, at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,280 ft agl.
The landing on runway 18 was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 64 kt and a touchdown rate of -118 fpm. The touchdown distance was 439 m, which was 24% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 °C and a wind speed of 12 kt from 140 °, resulting in a crosswind of 8 kt and a headwind of 8 kt.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at YMAV Avalon Airport, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 186.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 18.
The runway at YMAV Avalon Airport has a length of 3,047 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when crossing the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 73 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
The touchdown distance of 439 meters was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold. The touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown without any significant deceleration.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. Despite this, the total landing distance of 729 meters was only 24% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 140°.
