Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 10 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

On final, shallow the descent to match the target approach angle rather than flying a steeper path.

What happened: On final approach at the Final 3 stage, the descent angle was steeper than the target approach path.

Watch for: Watch the approach angle against the target, aiming to keep it closer to 3.2 degrees.

See Arrival Final 3

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 36 at A20 Sun Valley, where the aircraft, a DA40-XLS, took off with a takeoff distance of 411 meters, which was 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 63 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 331 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.

As the aircraft climbed out of Sun Valley, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 5,854 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,239 feet asl. This climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before beginning another climb from 6,722 feet asl to 10,221 feet asl, an increase of 3,500 feet in 7 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.

The aircraft continued to alternate between level cruises and climbs, with notable level cruises lasting 18 minutes and covering 39 nautical miles, and a final descent from 10,525 feet asl to 8,523 feet asl, a decrease of 2,002 feet in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began a series of climbs, reaching altitudes of 8,433 feet asl, 10,268 feet asl, and finally 10,268 feet asl, before beginning its final descent.

The final approach to runway 21 at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 221.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,411 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 262 meters, a touchdown speed of 49 knots, and a touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 222 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 436 meters, which was 16% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 144 nautical miles, taking 80 minutes, and the aircraft used 45 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 221.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,411 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 2,740 meters.

The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 55 knots was well below the target speed, indicating that the pilot was cautious to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 262 meters was also good, and the touchdown speed of 49 knots was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.5 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 222°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was only 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.

The total landing distance of 436 meters was within 16% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a stop relatively quickly. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.5 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the landing roll or during the taxiing process. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal approach and landing parameters.
