Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a small airport located in the Highland region of Scotland. The DA40-NG aircraft, a popular single-engine piston aircraft, accelerated down the runway and lifted off into the air after a takeoff distance of 986 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was a relatively modest 68 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the takeoff and climb phases relatively straightforward. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 204 feet above sea level to 221 feet, an increase of 17 feet over a period of one minute, while covering a distance of one nautical mile.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, which was located to the east of the airport. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 255.0 degrees and was at an altitude of 189 feet above ground level, just 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 55 knots. The touchdown distance was a relatively short 326 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -82 feet per minute, indicating a very gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

After touchdown, the aircraft rolled out to a stop, with the runway rollout alignment being very good. The total landing distance was 648 meters, which was a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The total flight distance was a mere 3 nautical miles, and the flight used a negligible amount of fuel, just 0 kilograms. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled takeoff and landing phases, with minimal wind and turbulence encountered during the flight.

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 255.0°, at an altitude of 189 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and altitude.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 74 knots. This is a minor deviation, but it did not affect the overall outcome of the landing. The touchdown distance of 326 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 55 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -82 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more straightforward. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a precise heading and alignment with the runway.

The total landing distance of 648 meters, which is 36% of the runway length, is also a testament to the pilot's skill and control. This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance, minimizing the risk of overrunning the runway. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the DA40-NG aircraft, with the pilot exhibiting excellent control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
