This flight was conducted in a DA42-VI aircraft, which took off from a location 1 mile east of Somersham in Cambridgeshire, England. The initial climb phase of the flight was notable for its lack of altitude gain, as the aircraft climbed from 1,506 feet above sea level to the same altitude in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was conducted from the same location as the initial climb, 1 mile east of Somersham.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 23 at EGSC Cambridge City Airport. The approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 230.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,088 feet above ground level, the aircraft was in a good position to begin its descent.
The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 68 knots. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 88 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 475 meters, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -95 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind of 10 knots at 240 degrees.
The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 703 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Overall, the flight was successful, with a total distance of 15 nautical miles covered in 28 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 29 kilograms.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGSC Cambridge City Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,088 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 23, which has a length of 1,607 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was too high at 88 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 475 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 68 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to touch down at a higher speed than necessary. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and with minimal impact. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to take advantage of the headwind to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 703 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown speed effectively, resulting in a smooth and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and decision-making skills.
