Know your rotation speed

Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 26 at EG41 Fishburn, a small airfield in England. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 435 meters, which was 55% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 53 knots, marking the beginning 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 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The pilot navigated the aircraft to an enroute level cruise, which started overhead Bishop Middleham, a town in County Durham, England. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.

After the cruise phase, the pilot began the final approach to runway 26 at EG41 Fishburn, this time from the east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 15.9 meters above ground level and was heading towards the runway at a bearing of 261.0 degrees. The pilot executed a smooth landing on the runway, with the touchdown speed being 48 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also good, covering a distance of 174 meters.

The landing was further characterized by a perfect touchdown rate of 0.2 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, with the aircraft being 4.2 meters off-center. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was still negligible, while the headwind component remained at 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 330 meters, which was 42% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 26 at EG41 Fishburn in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 96.79 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EG41 Fishburn, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 261.0° at an altitude of 15.9 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 789 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 slightly below the target speed of 63 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 174 meters, and the touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within acceptable limits.

One of the key performance metrics for this landing was the touchdown rate, which was reported as perfect at 0.2 meters per second. This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustment in the pilot's approach to ensure a more precise touchdown.

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 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the landing.

The total landing distance was 330 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline after touchdown and during the rollout phase. Overall, this was a successful landing, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of key performance metrics.
