The flight involved a DA40-NG aircraft, which started an enroute climb from near Lelystad Airport in the Netherlands. Initially, the aircraft climbed from a low altitude of -10 ft asl to 954 ft asl, a total increase of 964 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise at an altitude of around 1,000 ft asl. The cruise lasted for just 2 minutes, during which time the aircraft covered the same distance of 2 nm.

The next stage of the flight was another enroute climb, this time from a position 2 miles southeast of Lelystad Airport. During this climb, the aircraft rose from an altitude of 1,044 ft asl to 1,541 ft asl, a vertical increase of 498 ft in 2 minutes. Once again, the distance covered during this time was 2 nm. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise once more, this time lasting for a significantly longer period of 14 minutes. During this cruise, the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nm and remained at an altitude of around 1,500 ft asl.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting from a position 1 mile southeast of Lelystad. The descent took place over the next 3 minutes, during which time the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 1,501 ft asl to 216 ft asl. This represents a significant reduction in altitude of 1,284 ft. Despite the steep descent, the aircraft maintained a reasonable ground speed and covered the same distance of 2 nm as previously.

Following the descent, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 at EHLE Lelystad Airport. This involved a 3.7 kilometre distance and an altitude of 219 ft agl. The approach was headed in a northeasterly direction at a speed of 231.0°. The landing conditions were reported to be good, with a runway length of 1,244 m and a threshold height that was suitable for a safe touchdown. The threshold speed was also reported to be good at 72 kt.

The actual landing took place at a touchdown distance of 315 m, which is considered a good distance for a typical DA40-NG aircraft. The touchdown speed was equally impressive, coming in at 54 kt. What's more, the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 fpm, suggesting a smooth and controlled descent. However, there was a slight issue with the runway touchdown position, as the aircraft touched down 8.7 m off-centre from the runway centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of the flight included a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt, blowing in a northeasterly direction. This resulted in a slight headwind of 1 kt. Overall, the flight was relatively short, covering a distance of 14 nm and lasting a total time of 22 minutes. During this time, the aircraft consumed 6 kg of fuel.

Takeoff on runway at in the DA40-NG

Landing on runway 23 at EHLE Lelystad Airport in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 97.14 %

Landing Summary

The landing of the DA40-NG aircraft at EHLE Lelystad Airport has been deemed highly successful, with a score of 97.1%. The aircraft successfully navigated its final approach to runway 23 from the north east, maintaining a heading of 231.0° at an altitude of 219 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The aircraft's pilot was able to maintain a good threshold height and speed upon landing, achieving a threshold speed of 72 kt. This indicates that the pilot was well-prepared for the landing, having carefully planned and executed the approach.

Upon touchdown, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft, with a good touchdown distance of 315 meters and a touchdown speed of 54 kt. The touchdown rate, at -67 feet per minute (fpm), is particularly noteworthy, as it indicates an excellent ability to slow the aircraft's descent rate on touchdown. This level of precision is essential for safe landing operations.

However, the landing was not without some minor issues, as the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.7 meters. While this may seem significant, it is worth noting that the overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was still highly commendable.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were generally favorable, with temperatures of 15° Celsius, a light wind of 2 kt at 270°, and negligible crosswind or headwind. This helped to minimize the challenges faced by the pilot and further contributed to the success of the landing.
