This flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 3 miles southeast of Clinton, Maryland, United States. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 1,721 feet above sea level and successfully climbed to 1,773 feet above sea level, achieving an increase of 51 feet in just 1 minute while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 01L at KADW Joint Base Andrews, approaching from the south at a heading of 360.0 degrees and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,506 feet above ground level, the aircraft was well-positioned for a smooth landing.
Upon landing on runway 01L, which measures 2,839 meters in length, the aircraft demonstrated good performance. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 63 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 212 meters, and the touchdown speed of 55 knots was within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes, with no fuel being consumed during the flight.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed on runway 01L at KADW Joint Base Andrews, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,506 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, which indicates that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 63 knots, which may be a minor concern. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 212 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 55 knots was also within acceptable limits.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -93 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and control. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 15°C. This suggests that the pilot did not have to contend with any adverse weather conditions that might have affected the landing.
The total landing distance of 486 meters was relatively short, accounting for only 17% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown, which is a key aspect of safe landing procedures.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 8.8 meters off-centerline. While this is not a major concern, it does suggest that the pilot may need to make some adjustments to their rollout technique to ensure that the aircraft remains aligned with the centerline.
Overall, this landing was a success, with the DA40-NG aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. With some minor adjustments to the rollout technique, this pilot is well on their way to achieving a perfect landing score.
