Improve the rollout

Arrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Landing on runway XX at Sumburgh in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 72.85 %
Landing Summary

Overall, this landing showed some positive aspects such as a good threshold height and a good landing flare. However, there are areas that could use improvement for future landings. The glideslope alignment was too high, the approach speed was good but the approach heading was poor. It is important to try to keep the wings level during landing to improve overall stability. The touchdown rate was very heavy and the touchdown speed was very fast, indicating a need to work on smoother landings. Additionally, the touchdown runway alignment was way off, as was the rollout runway alignment.

Suggestions for improvement:

  1. Work on maintaining a more consistent and appropriate approach heading.
  2. Focus on achieving a smoother touchdown to reduce the impact on the aircraft.
  3. Pay closer attention to runway alignment both during touchdown and rollout.

Keep practicing and remember that every landing is an opportunity to learn and improve. Good luck!
