The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,796 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 393 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, where the DA42-TDI aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 633 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 79 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a tailwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 983 feet above sea level to 9,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,012 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise that lasted 10 minutes and covered 21 nautical miles, starting 5 miles northwest of Brucoli, Sicily.
The aircraft then began its descent from 10,006 feet above sea level to 5,509 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,497 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The descent was initiated 1 mile northwest of Vizzini, Sicily. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised at a steady altitude for 29 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles, while flying over Comiso Airport in Sicily.
The flight continued with a climb from 5,646 feet above sea level to 6,493 feet above sea level, an increase of 848 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles, starting 2 miles southwest of Monterosso Almo, Sicily. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 22 minutes, covering 37 nautical miles, while flying 32 miles north of Lampedusa, Sicily.
The aircraft then began its descent from 6,169 feet above sea level to 2,369 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,801 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles, starting 10 miles west of Lampedusa, Sicily. The descent was followed by a level cruise that lasted 5 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles, starting 14 miles west of Lampedusa, Sicily.
The final descent from 1,991 feet above sea level to 1,247 feet above sea level, a decrease of 745 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles, was initiated 6 miles west of Lampedusa, Sicily. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 at Lampedusa Airport, flying from the west at a heading of 78.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the threshold.
The landing on runway 08 at Lampedusa Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 390 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 58 knots, and the touchdown rate was -168 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 794 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway.
The flight was completed with a total distance of 223 nautical miles, taking 83 minutes, and using 44 kilograms of fuel. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The DA42-TDI aircraft successfully landed at Lampedusa Airport (LICD) with a score of 95.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 78.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,170 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 08, which has a length of 1,796 meters.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft's height was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 73 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 390 meters, and the touchdown speed of 58 knots was within the desired range.
The touchdown rate of -168 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the approach path or landing technique to achieve a more precise touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, which is relatively mild and should not have presented any significant challenges for the aircraft or the pilot.
The total landing distance of 794 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable and acceptable distance for a landing on a runway of this length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
