Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 351 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 62 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Croy, Scotland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 256 meters above sea level to 452 meters, an increase of 196.2 meters, in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was followed by an enroute level cruise that started 1 mile west of Ardersier, Scotland, and lasted for 11 minutes. The cruise phase covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 03 at EG73 RNAS Fearn Air Base was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 99.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 156 meters above ground level. The landing was made on a runway that was 1,113 meters long, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 376 meters, and the touchdown speed was 41 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was excellent at -0.4 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 03 at EG73 RNAS Fearn Air Base in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 93.94 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EG73 RNAS Fearn Air Base, achieving a high score of 93.9%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 99.0° at 1 nautical mile and 156.0 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 03.

The runway at EG73 RNAS Fearn Air Base has a length of 1,113 meters, providing a suitable surface for the DA40-XLS to touch down. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement.

The touchdown distance of 376 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The touchdown speed of 41 knots was also reported as good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe and controlled speed. The touchdown rate of -0.4 meters per second was excellent, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the point of touchdown. This is an important aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing uneven wear on the landing gear.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots, which did not pose a significant challenge to the aircraft's landing. Overall, the DA40-XLS demonstrated excellent handling and control during the landing, achieving a high score and showcasing its capabilities as a safe and reliable aircraft.
