Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 35 at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base. The aircraft, a DA 40, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 71 kt, covering a distance of 87 m, which was 6% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base. The climb was from an initial altitude of 67 ft above sea level to a maximum altitude of 1,296 ft, an increase of 1,228 ft in just 1 minute. This impressive climb rate covered a distance of 1 nm, demonstrating the aircraft's excellent performance capabilities.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm. This cruise phase took place 1 mile south west of Seabrook, a location in the State of Victoria, Australia.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 35 at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base. The approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 356.0 ° at an altitude of 183 ft above ground level and a distance of 0 nm from the runway threshold.
The landing itself was notable for a few factors. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 79 kt. However, the touchdown distance was good at 370 m, which was 40% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 66 kt, and the touchdown rate was hard at -476 fpm. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline.
Despite these minor issues, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The total landing distance was 555 m, which was 40% of the runway length. The flight used a total of 1 kg of fuel and covered a distance of 4 nm, taking a total of 6 minutes to complete.

The DA 40 aircraft successfully landed at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base, with a score of 90.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 356.0° at 0 nm and 183 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 35, which has a length of 1,376 m.
The threshold height at 66 ft agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 79 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the speed. The touchdown distance of 370 m was considered good, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 66 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -476 fpm. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed and touchdown rate by adjusting the flare. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position.
The local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, and there was no headwind. The total landing distance of 555 m was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and direction after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and rate, and improving the alignment of the aircraft with the runway centreline.
