The flight began with an enroute climb from 7,766 feet above sea level (asl) to 9,255 ft asl, an increase of 1,489 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb phase started overhead Chelmsford in Essex, England.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, which began overhead Boreham in Essex, England. This cruise phase lasted for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 13 nautical miles.

As the flight continued, the aircraft began its enroute descent from 8,713 ft asl to 3,426 ft asl, a decrease of 5,287 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. This descent started 2 miles west of Bures Saint Mary in Suffolk, England.

The next enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile south of Great Wilbraham in Cambridgeshire, England, and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.

The final descent phase started overhead Orwell in Cambridgeshire, England, and took the aircraft from 2,943 ft asl to 1,281 ft asl, a decrease of 1,662 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at EGSC Cambridge City Airport, flying from the south west at a heading of 51.0°, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing on runway 05 was successful, with a touchdown point 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute was also satisfactory. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 58°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 9 knots.

The total landing distance was 632 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 55 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 23 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Takeoff on runway at in the DA42-VI

Landing on runway 05 at EGSC Cambridge City Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 96.03 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGSC Cambridge City Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 51.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,241 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 05, which has a length of 1,607 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 88 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to the approach to achieve a more optimal speed. The touchdown point was 84 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to make a more precise landing.

The touchdown speed of 66 knots was reported as good, and the touchdown rate of -153 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown smoothly. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of 21°C, wind at 10 knots from 58°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots. These conditions may have affected the approach and landing, but the pilot was able to adapt and achieve a successful landing.

The total landing distance was 632 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from optimal performance, such as the slightly high threshold speed and the misaligned runway touchdown position.
