This flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a location 3 miles south of Clinton, Maryland, United States. The aircraft started its ascent from an altitude of 1,717 feet above sea level and successfully climbed to 1,531 feet above sea level, achieving an increase of 186 feet in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 01R at KADW Joint Base Andrews, approaching from the south at a heading of 0.0 degrees and at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level, the aircraft was well-positioned for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 01R, which has a length of 2,971 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 216 meters, and the touchdown speed was a respectable 55 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -129 feet per minute.
Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters, the overall landing performance was satisfactory. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees, and a crosswind of 2 knots. There was no headwind.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed on runway 01R at KADW Joint Base Andrews, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading directly towards the runway at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 64 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 216 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 55 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -129 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting a gentle impact on the runway.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique to achieve a more precise alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 2 knots from the west.
The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and there was no headwind component. The total landing distance of 514 meters was only 17% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases.
