Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at EG73 RNAS Fearn Air Base, a military airfield in Scotland. The aircraft, a DA40-XLS, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 57 knots, covering a distance of 58 meters, which was just 5% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 6 knots from a direction of 279 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started just one mile west of EG73 RNAS Fearn Air Base. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 313 meters above sea level to 498 meters in just one minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a steady cruise altitude.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight lasted for four minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of two nautical miles. This phase of the flight was likely used to establish a steady airspeed and altitude, allowing the pilot to conserve fuel and prepare for the final approach to the destination airfield.

The final approach to runway 24 at X6FE Easter Airfield was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 242 degrees at an altitude of 22.1 meters above ground level. The approach was likely made with a gentle descent, using the aircraft's flaps and pitch to control the rate of descent and maintain a steady airspeed.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 49 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 136 meters, which was just 50% of the runway's length. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had made a precise and controlled approach.

The post-landing rollout was also smooth and controlled, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a perfect alignment with the runway. The total landing distance was 410 meters, which was a testament to the pilot's skill and control.

In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of 25 kilograms of fuel, which was a relatively small amount considering the flight distance of four nautical miles. The total flight time was seven minutes, which was a quick and efficient flight. Overall, the flight was a success, with the pilot making a smooth and controlled approach and landing, and using a minimal amount of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 24 at X6FE Easter Airfield in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 97.85 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at X6FE Easter Airfield, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 242.0° at an altitude of 22.1 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course as it descended onto runway 24, which has a length of 825 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 59 knots, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 136 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 49 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -0.7 meters per second was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft onto the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 279°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 4 knots, which did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot.

The total landing distance of 410 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft as it slowed down after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
