Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

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 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a takeoff distance of 635 meters, which was 35% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 73 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than a nautical mile in just 18 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, taking 21 seconds to cover a distance of less than a nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was a 45-degree angle to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 69 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was another 45-degree angle to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was less than a nautical mile long and took 28 seconds to complete. The final turn was the shortest, taking 27 seconds to cover a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 229.0° at an altitude of 239 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was smooth, with a threshold height that was good and a threshold speed of 72 knots. The touchdown distance was 229 meters, and the touchdown speed was 60 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was also good, at -188 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 7 nautical miles and took 5 minutes to complete, using 1 kilogram of fuel. The flight was a successful demonstration of the DA40-NG's capabilities in a variety of conditions.
