Pattern Crosswind

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 247 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 61 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 23, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also executed smoothly, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 42 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was notable for its distance of 3 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees, which was achieved at an angle of 33.2 degrees.

The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 48.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 554 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 45 knots and a distance of 267 meters, which was 28% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was smooth at -122 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 226 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 511 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used 40 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, aligning with the runway 05 threshold at a heading of 48.0° and at an altitude of 554 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 62 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 267 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 45 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 226°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 3 knots, which did not impact the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 511 meters was 28% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway space. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the DA40-XLS aircraft landed safely and efficiently at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a score of 98.9%. This achievement reflects the high level of skill and expertise of the pilot, as well as the aircraft's performance capabilities.
