The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at SKLW Ingenio Risaralda Airport, where the aircraft, a DA42-TDI, took off with a takeoff distance of 414 meters, which was 89% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 138 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and no headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 5,038 feet above sea level (asl) after an increase of 1,047 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering another 2 nautical miles. This pattern of climbing and cruising continued as the aircraft flew over various locations, including La Virginia and Balboa.
The aircraft's enroute climb started again 1 mile northwest of La Virginia, reaching an altitude of 7,087 feet asl after an increase of 2,020 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. Another descent started 3 miles east of La Celia, where the aircraft descended from 6,846 feet asl to 6,338 feet asl, a decrease of 509 feet in 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with a final climb starting 2 miles southwest of Balboa, reaching an altitude of 5,982 feet asl after an increase of 1,571 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 6 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The final approach to landing began 1 mile north of Balboa, where the aircraft descended from 143 feet above ground level (agl) to 0 feet agl, a decrease of 143 feet in 1 second.
The aircraft touched down 1 mile north of Balboa, with a touchdown speed of 62 knots and a very heavy touchdown rate of -769 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was good at 41 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 156 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
After touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, which ended 39 meters from the point of touchdown, with an altitude of 4,878 feet asl. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, taking 27 minutes, and the aircraft used 12 kilograms of fuel.

The DA42-TDI aircraft successfully landed at a location 1 mile north of Balboa in the Departamento de Risaralda, Colombia. The final approach was conducted from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 143 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was approaching the touchdown point, and the descent from 45 feet agl to 0 feet agl was completed in a very short period of 1 second, indicating a steep descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 62 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy, with a descent rate of -769 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of force, which may have caused some stress on the landing gear and the aircraft's structure. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 41 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 156 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 knots, indicating a relatively calm environment. The aircraft's landing rollout was conducted at an altitude of 4,878 feet above sea level (asl), and the distance covered during this phase was 39 meters.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot achieving a good touchdown speed. However, the heavy touchdown rate may require further investigation to determine the cause and to ensure that the aircraft's structure and landing gear are not compromised.
