Landing on runway 25R at KDAB Daytona Beach International Airport in the Diamond DA42 Twin Star

Landing Score 89.88 %

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star approached runway 25R at KDAB Daytona Beach International Airport on a final approach from the north-east, heading 245.0° at 4 nm and 1,161 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft carried a final score of 89.9 %.

At threshold the aircraft was 77 ft agl, which was well above the target height, and the threshold speed was recorded as excessively high at 97 kt. The flare proceeded from this condition without further comment.

Touchdown occurred 78 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 61 kt judged good and a vertical rate of -185 fpm also described as good. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 746 m, representing 23 % of the 3,197 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

Reduce the threshold speed to bring it within the expected range and adjust the approach to achieve the correct threshold height; these changes will help keep the touchdown point within the intended zone and further improve the already strong performance.
