Arrival Final 2

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 Glasgow International Airport, where the DA42-VI aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 497 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 81 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport at Paisley in Renfrewshire, Scotland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 148 meters above sea level to 218 meters above sea level, an increase of 70.2 meters, over a distance of 2 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. This climb was a smooth and efficient transition to the next phase of the flight.

The final approach to runway 23 at Glasgow International Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 212.0 degrees at an altitude of 207.3 meters above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was carefully managed to ensure a safe and controlled touchdown.

The landing itself was a success, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 118 meters and a speed of 71 knots, which was well within the target range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -0.7 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 4 nautical miles and used 3 kilograms of fuel, making it a fuel-efficient and well-executed flight.

Landing Score 99.92 %
Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPF Glasgow International Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north east, with a heading of 212.0° at 2 nautical miles and 207.3 meters above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the aircraft's altitude and proximity to the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 71 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 75 knots. However, this was not a concern, as the touchdown speed was still within a safe range. The touchdown distance of 118 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had carefully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline before touchdown. This is an important aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting 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 16°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.

Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and judgment throughout the approach and landing. The aircraft's performance was also good, with a smooth touchdown rate of -0.7 meters per second. This landing is a testament to the pilot's skills and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities.
