Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EHOP Middenmeer Aerodrome, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 317 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 57 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 05, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn took 27 seconds to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 74.5 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself took 45 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The pilot then turned onto the base leg, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 53.7 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself took 21 seconds to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn onto the final approach was completed in 40 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 05 was made from the southwest, with a heading of 69.0 degrees at an altitude of 46.0 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 581 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 78 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 113 meters, and the touchdown speed was 48 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -0.7 meters per second.

However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.

The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight took 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 05 at EHOP Middenmeer Aerodrome in the DA40-XLS
Landing Score 75.77 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EHOP Middenmeer Aerodrome, achieving a score of 75.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 69.0° at an altitude of 46.0 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 581 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 above the target speed, coming in at 78 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 113 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 48 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -0.7 meters per second. This indicates that the aircraft touched down gently, without any sudden deceleration.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline.
