Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome, a small airfield in Dorset, England. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the 796-meter runway, reaching liftoff speed of 64 knots in a relatively short distance of 145 meters, which accounted for only 18% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 8 knots from a direction of 347 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and no headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 360 meters above sea level to a height of 343 meters, an increase of 16.8 meters over a period of 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead the EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome Shaftesbury, marking the beginning of the enroute phase of the flight.
As the aircraft approached the end of its journey, it began its final approach to runway 08 at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome, descending from an altitude of 96.3 meters above ground level (agl) while heading in a direction of 74.0 degrees. The aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold at this point, and the approach was characterized by a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 62 knots.
The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 47 knots and a distance of 210 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -0.5 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 457 meters, accounting for 57% of the runway length. The flight was completed with a total distance of 3 nautical miles, taking approximately 7 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
