Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 85 %, −0.40 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 70 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 86 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 70 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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 Diamond DA42 Twin Star taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the take-off roll. The aircraft used 671 m of runway, representing 27 % of the available length, and became airborne at a liftoff speed of 86 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.

During the climb the aircraft passed overhead Donderen in the province of Drenthe, ascending from 1,002 ft asl to 1,559 ft asl. The altitude gain of 557 ft was achieved in 2 minutes while covering 3 nm.

The subsequent level cruise also began over Donderen and persisted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled another 3 nm at a constant altitude.

Descent commenced one mile south-west of Noordlaren in the province of Groningen, with the aircraft descending from 1,207 ft asl to 292 ft asl. This loss of 915 ft occurred over 2 minutes and spanned 2 nm.

On final approach to runway 23 the aircraft reduced altitude from 428 ft agl to 49 ft agl in 48 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.

Landing was executed on runway 23, whose total length is 2,490 m. The threshold height was satisfactory and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 80 kt. Touchdown occurred 289 m down the runway at a speed of 60 kt with a vertical speed of minus 190 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the centreline. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a cross-component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 437 m, equivalent to 18 % of the runway, and the alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.

In total the flight covered 11 nm, taking 6 (units as provided) and consumed 3 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 96.93 %
Landing Summary

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star performed its final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, descending from 428 ft agl to 49 ft agl in 48 seconds and receiving a stabilisation-gate score. The overall landing score was recorded as 94.1 %.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed slightly below target at 80 kt, with ambient temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 2 kt.

Touchdown occurred 289 m down the runway at a speed of 60 kt, a vertical rate of minus 190 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Rollout continued with a total landing distance of 437 m, representing 18 % of the 2,490 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.

Minor refinements should focus on matching the target threshold speed more closely and maintaining the descent profile that satisfied the stabilisation gates, which will help preserve the high overall score.
