Next time

Arrival

On downwind, use small aileron and rudder corrections to hold the wings-parallel heading against the runway.

What happened: On the downwind leg the heading drifted 7.8° off the runway-parallel track.

Watch for: Heading indicator: parallel to the runway on downwind.

See Pattern Downwind

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 Diamond DA40 taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 435 m, representing 17 % of the runway, and lifted off at 69 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

During the descent phase the airplane reduced altitude from 381 ft agl to 47 ft agl in 41 seconds, establishing the profile required for final approach.

The approach sequence began with a left-hand pattern entry from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 21 seconds, followed by a left-hand cross-wind leg of less than 1 nm in 23 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with a 45° angle to the runway measured at 140.6°, and the downwind leg itself was 1 nm completed in 43 seconds. The base-leg turn also covered 1 nm with a 45° angle to the runway of 16.0°. The final approach to runway 23 proceeded under the same weather as departure (15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, 1 kt cross-wind, 2 kt head-wind) and met the stabilisation gates criteria.

Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2 490 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 76 kt, and touchdown occurred 339 m down the runway at 56 kt with a smooth vertical rate of minus 121 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect, and the total landing distance measured 507 m, equivalent to 20 % of the runway length.

Rollout continued with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment along the runway centreline until the stop point was reached.

In total, the flight covered 4 nm, required 3 units of time, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
