The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21L at EDCM Kamenz Airfield, a small airfield located in Kamenz, Saxony, Germany. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a takeoff speed of 54 knots and lifting off the ground after covering just 217 meters, which is 20% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 570 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 1,284 feet, a vertical gain of 714 feet over a distance of 2 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. The climb was smooth and efficient, allowing the aircraft to reach its cruising altitude quickly.

Once at cruising altitude, the aircraft leveled off and began its enroute level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed over a distance of 2 nautical miles for 3 minutes. This phase of the flight was characterized by a stable and efficient flight regime, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady pace.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 03R at EDCM Kamenz Airfield, descending from a cruising altitude of 1,284 feet to a touchdown altitude of 117 feet above ground level. The approach was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 33.0 degrees and covering a distance of 0 nautical miles before touching down on the runway.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 47 knots and a distance of 177 meters, which is just 47% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was excellent, with the aircraft descending at a rate of -93 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

After touching down, the aircraft began its rollout, maintaining a steady alignment with the runway centerline and coming to a stop after covering a total distance of 517 meters, which is just 47% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the rollout phase.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 5 nautical miles and lasted for 6 minutes, consuming a total of 34 kilograms of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient climb, a stable and efficient cruise, and a controlled and precise landing, demonstrating the capabilities of the DA40-XLS aircraft in a variety of flight regimes.

Landing on runway 03R at EDCM Kamenz Airfield in the DA40-XLS

Landing Score 97.59 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EDCM Kamenz Airfield, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 33.0° at 0 nm and 117 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 03R, which has a length of 1,099 m.

The pilot demonstrated good control during the approach, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 59 kt, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 177 m, and the touchdown speed of 47 kt was within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate of -93 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 282°.

The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 kt. As a result, the pilot was able to maintain control and stability during the approach and landing. The total landing distance of 517 m was 47% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length.

The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
