Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power to re-establish a normal three degree glidepath on final.

What happened: On final at the four-mile point, the approach angle was steeper than the target glidepath.

Watch for: VSI against a stable descent rate matching the glidepath angle

See Arrival Final 4

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 quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA40-NG, then departed from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The takeoff distance was 312 meters, which is 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 66 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Monkton, Scotland. The climb started from an altitude of 1,031 feet above sea level and reached a height of 2,552 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,520 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Loans, Scotland, and lasted for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent overhead the Isle of Cumbrae, Scotland. The descent started from an altitude of 2,729 feet above sea level and reached a height of 1,804 feet above sea level, a decrease of 925 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at X6BU Bute was made from the east, heading 265.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,747 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 27 at X6BU Bute was successful, with a runway length of 480 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below the target at 61 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 89 meters, and the touchdown speed was 56 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -182 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from 286 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 346 meters, which is 72% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, and the flight took 16 minutes to complete, using 4 kilograms of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway 27 at X6BU Bute in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 86.33 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at X6BU Bute, achieving an overall score of 86.3%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 265.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,747 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 480 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 61 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 89 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from 286°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.

However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. These deviations were relatively minor and did not significantly impact the overall safety of the landing.

Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft demonstrated good handling and control during the landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the maneuver. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, the aircraft and pilot performed well under the given conditions.
