Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21L at EDCM Kamenz Airfield, a small airfield located in Kamenz, Saxony, Germany. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 212 meters, which accounted for just 19% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 71 knots, marking the beginning of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions consisting of a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead the airfield, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 865 feet above sea level to 1,114 feet, a gain of 248 feet in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 1 mile south east of the airfield. After the cruise, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 21L, heading in a northeasterly direction at an altitude of 146 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 49 knots. The touchdown distance was 192 meters, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -75 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 3 nautical miles and lasted 4 minutes, consuming 2 kilograms of fuel in the process. The flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled progression from takeoff to landing, with the pilot demonstrating a high degree of skill and proficiency in navigating the DA40-XLS aircraft.

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EDCM Kamenz Airfield, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with the runway 21L at a heading of 213.0°. At the point of initiation, the aircraft was at 0 nm and 146 ft above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed on runway 21L, which has a length of 1,099 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 61 kt, which may be attributed to the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe and controlled approach.

The touchdown distance of 192 meters was considered good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The touchdown speed of 49 kt was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed during the final stages of the approach.

One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -75 fpm. This suggests that the pilot had a high degree of control over the aircraft's descent, allowing for a smooth and controlled touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt. These conditions would have presented a relatively straightforward landing scenario for the pilot, allowing them to focus on executing a precise and controlled approach. Overall, this landing demonstrates the pilot's skill and expertise in executing a safe and successful landing.
