Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22 at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base. The DA 40 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching liftoff speed of 74 kt in a relatively short distance of 101 m, which accounted for just 9% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14 °C and a wind speed of 11 kt blowing from 242 °, resulting in a 3 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in just 32 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was even more impressive, with the aircraft covering the same distance in a mere 18 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 67.4 ° to the runway, while the downwind leg itself spanned a distance of 2 nm in 52 seconds.
The base leg turn was another highlight of the flight, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nm at an angle of just 2.8 ° to the runway. The final approach to runway 22 was made from the north-east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 217.0 ° and an altitude of 732 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.
The landing itself was a textbook example of precision and control. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 63 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of -102 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance of 281 m accounted for just 25% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also excellent, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and control.
In terms of overall performance, the flight was a success, with the aircraft covering a total distance of 5 nm in just 4 minutes while consuming only 1 kg of fuel. The flight's efficiency and precision were a testament to the capabilities of the DA 40 aircraft and the skill of the pilot.

The DA 40 aircraft successfully landed at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base, with a score of 94.1%. The final approach was made from the north-east, heading 217.0° at 1 nautical mile and 732 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 22.
The runway at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base, has a length of 1,135 meters, providing a safe margin for the DA 40's landing. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 69 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.
The touchdown distance of 144 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 63 knots was also good. The touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent and minimal impact on the aircraft's landing gear. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 242°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach. The total landing distance of 281 meters was only 25% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to stop quickly and safely.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
