Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 70 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 84 kt, 14 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 70 kt at liftoff

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway at LaGuardia Airport, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04, with a takeoff distance of 420 meters, which was 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 84 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. The aircraft then climbed to an altitude of 1,790 feet above sea level, an increase of 783 feet from the initial altitude of 1,007 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute climb continued with a series of level cruises and climbs. The first level cruise started overhead Hunts Point, New York, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The next climb started overhead Chinatown, New York, and resulted in an increase of 1,043 feet in altitude in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise started 1 mile north of Sunset Park, New York, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Stapleton, New York, and resulted in a decrease of 1,609 feet in altitude in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The next climb started overhead Willowbrook, New York, and resulted in an increase of 659 feet in altitude in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final level cruise started overhead New Springville, New York, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 29.0 degrees at an altitude of 914 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 2,142 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 71 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 428 meters, and the touchdown speed was 54 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind component was 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 821 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 34 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed on runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 29.0° at 3 nautical miles and 914 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway at a speed of 54 knots.
The touchdown distance of 428 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height at 60 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The threshold speed of 71 knots was also good, suggesting that the pilot had sufficient control to maintain a stable approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
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 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach. The total landing distance of 821 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing roll. Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft demonstrated good landing performance, with a smooth touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute and a stable rollout.
