What went well

Touched down at -125 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 293 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 49 ft and 79 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 83 %, −1.39 points

Departure Roll — g force 0.67 to 1.44 g at 84 %, −0.18 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.8 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.8 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Lower the nosewheel smoothly and apply braking evenly after touchdown, avoiding abrupt pitch or brake inputs that spike g force.

What happened: The rollout average g force measured 1.9 g, well outside a smooth deceleration.

Watch for: Watch the g meter through rollout, keeping it steady near one g rather than spiking to 1.9 g.

See Arrival Rollout

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 DA-50 taxied to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport and commenced the departure roll. Take-off was achieved after a ground run of 611 m, representing 33 % of the available runway, with liftoff occurring at 85 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.

During the left-hand pattern entry the aircraft turned onto runway 23 and covered less than 1 nm in 24 seconds. The subsequent left-hand cross-wind leg was completed in under 1 nm in 15 seconds. The down-wind turn spanned 1 nm and the aircraft was 65.2° off the runway centreline. The down-wind leg extended 2 nm and was flown in 68 seconds. The base-leg turn covered another 2 nm, reducing the angle to the runway to 12.0°. Final approach to runway 23 was conducted under a temperature of 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 2 kt.

The descent phase reduced altitude from 448 ft AGL to 57 ft AGL in 68 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.

Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 1 866 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 79 kt. Touchdown occurred 292 m down the runway at a speed of 72 kt, slightly above the target, with a vertical speed of minus 258 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was perfect and the total landing distance measured 529 m, equivalent to 28 % of the runway length.

Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration to a stop.

In total the flight covered 9nm, taking 7, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport descended from 448 ft agl to 57 ft agl in 68 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates; local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 79 kt.

Touchdown occurred 292 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 72 kt that was a little fast, a touchdown rate that was fair at minus 258 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment that was perfect.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 529 m, representing 28 % of the 1 866 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

To refine the already strong performance, a slight reduction in touchdown speed toward the target VREF will help lower the vertical rate and further improve the touchdown quality.
