Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 84 meters, which accounted for just 5% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 64 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.

As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions consisting of a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, providing a relatively stable environment for the flight.

The pilot then entered a right-hand pattern from runway 23, navigating a distance of 1 nautical mile in 33 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 42 seconds, demonstrating the aircraft's agility and responsiveness to the pilot's control inputs.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it executed a downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and maintaining an angle of 55.4 degrees relative to the runway. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nautical miles, taking 122 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was another right-hand maneuver, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and maintaining an angle of 48.0 degrees relative to the runway.

The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 46 seconds, after which the aircraft initiated its final turn, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. This marked the beginning of the final approach to runway 23, which was executed from a heading of 230.0 degrees at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 302 feet above ground level.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 396 meters. The touchdown speed was 55 knots, which was within the target range, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -75 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 7 nautical miles, which was covered in 7 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 2 kilograms. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled maneuvers, with the pilot demonstrating a high degree of skill and proficiency in navigating the aircraft through the pattern and executing a safe and successful landing.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 97.38 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 230.0° at 1 nautical mile and 302 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.

The temperature at the time of landing was 15°C, with a relatively calm wind of 2 knots at 270°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The aircraft's ability to adapt to these conditions was evident in its smooth touchdown.

Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft maintained a perfect runway touchdown alignment, indicating excellent control and navigation skills from the pilot. The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing.

The threshold speed was good at 70 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively. The touchdown distance of 396 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 55 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -75 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, showcasing the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.

Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities. The combination of precise navigation, effective speed management, and excellent control resulted in a smooth and safe landing at EGPE Inverness Airport.
