Arrival
This flight was conducted in a DA42-TDI aircraft, taking off from a location 1 mile north of Balboa in the Departamento de Risaralda, Colombia. The initial climb began at an altitude of 5,262 feet above sea level and gradually increased to 5,142 feet, a rise of 120 feet over a period of 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the landing ground, it entered a final approach phase, descending from an altitude of 276 feet above ground level to a distance of 1 nautical mile from the landing site. The aircraft then began its descent, plummeting from 55 feet above ground level to a complete stop at 0 feet above ground level in a mere 0 seconds.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 62 knots, which was deemed satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was quite severe, measuring -588 feet per minute, indicating a hard landing. The touchdown distance was still considered good, measuring 19 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 165 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 4,862 feet above sea level. The rollout distance was relatively short, measuring 12 meters. In total, the flight covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, consuming 1 kilogram of fuel in the process, and lasted for 2 minutes.

The DA42-TDI aircraft successfully landed at a location 1 mile north of Balboa in the Departamento de Risaralda, Colombia. The final approach was conducted from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's descent from 55 feet agl to 0 feet agl was particularly notable, as it occurred in a remarkably short period of 0 seconds, indicating a very steep and controlled descent.
Upon approaching the touchdown point, the aircraft's speed was 62 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, with a descent rate of -588 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have touched down with a significant amount of force, which could potentially be a concern for the aircraft's safety and the well-being of its occupants.
Despite the hard touchdown, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 19 meters. This indicates that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing process, and that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 165 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was conducted at an altitude of 4,862 feet above sea level (asl). The distance required to bring the aircraft to a stop was 12 meters, which is a relatively short distance and suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop in a relatively short distance.
