The Diamond DA42 Twin Star, scored 93.7 %, entered the final approach to runway 30 at KMIA from the south-east on a heading of 298.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,596 ft agl. Local conditions were 20 °C with wind 3 kt from 226°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because flaps were not set and the sink rate was too high.
At the threshold the aircraft encountered a height of 56 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and a threshold speed of 74 kt, also slightly above target, on a runway 2,579 m long.
Touchdown occurred 253 m down the runway, a good distance, with a speed of 63 kt that met the target. The touchdown rate was hard, recorded as minus 457 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Total landing distance measured 433 m, representing 17 % of the runway length.
Rollout alignment was very good, maintaining centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
Correct the unstable approach by deploying flaps and moderating sink rate before the 1,000 ft gate, and refine flare technique to lessen the hard touchdown rate while preserving the excellent alignment and speed.
