The flight in question was conducted on a DA42-TDI aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from 6,011 ft above sea level (asl) to the same altitude, resulting in a negligible increase of 0 ft in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile (nm). This initial climb phase was followed by an enroute level cruise, which began 2 miles east of Catania, Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 41 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm.

The flight then entered an enroute descent phase, starting 5 miles southeast of Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, Sicilia, Italy. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 5,913 ft asl to 3,526 ft asl, a decrease of 2,387 ft in 6 minutes, covering 6 nm. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise phase, which began 9 miles northeast of Brucoli, Sicilia, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight continued with multiple enroute descent and level cruise phases, each with varying altitudes, durations, and distances covered. Notably, the aircraft entered a final approach to runway 08 at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport from the west, heading 81.0° at 4 nm and 1,286 ft above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 2,253 m. However, the threshold height at 287 ft agl was excessively above target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 88 kt. The touchdown point was 364 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 69 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -118 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline.

The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, wind at 10 kt from 169°, with a crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance was 1,528 m, accounting for 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

In conclusion, the flight covered a total distance of 62 nm, taking 89 minutes, and consumed 42 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 08 at LICC Catania-Fontanarossa Airport in the DA42-TDI

Landing Score 81.36 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-TDI aircraft successfully landed at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, but the landing was not without some issues. The final approach was made from the west, heading 81.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 2,253 meters.

However, the landing was not perfectly executed. The threshold height at 287 feet agl was excessively above the target, indicating that the aircraft descended too slowly during the final approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 88 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was not slowed down sufficiently before touching down. This excessive speed could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially led to a longer landing roll.

The situation did not improve during the second landing attempt. The threshold height at 73 feet agl was still well above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 99 knots. This indicates that the pilot struggled to control the aircraft's descent and speed during the final approach.

Despite these issues, the touchdown point was 364 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is not ideal but not excessively far off either. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -118 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, which could have led to some difficulties during the rollout.

The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 169°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was only 1 knot. These conditions should not have significantly impacted the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,528 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing roll, but the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft safely to a stop, albeit with some issues during the final approach and touchdown.
