What went well

Touched down at -73 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 322 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 24 ft and 86 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Departure Climb 1 — scored 99.61 %, −0.07 points

Next time

Arrival

Level off and trim for level flight earlier after the turn, holding the standard circuit altitude on downwind.

What happened: You flew the downwind leg at 1,328 ft agl, above the correct circuit height for this pattern.

Watch for: Altimeter: the normal circuit height on downwind.

See Pattern Downwind

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 617 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 87 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.

A left-hand pattern entry was flown from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 21 seconds.

Subsequently the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern crosswind leg, again covering less than 1 nm, this time in 16 seconds.

The downwind turn was executed at a distance of 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 129.2° measured on a 45° reference.

During the downwind leg the aircraft flew 2 nm in 53 seconds.

The base-leg turn was performed over a distance of 2 nm, aligning to the runway at an angle of 14.1° on a 45° reference.

On final approach to runway 23 the aircraft descended from 506 ft agl to 41 ft agl in 55 seconds and met the stabilisation gates criteria.

Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose length is 2,490 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 86 kt, touchdown distance was 320 m, touchdown speed was 65 kt and the vertical speed was minus 73 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 482 m, equivalent to 19 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment remained perfect.

In total the flight covered 6 nm, required a duration of 4, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star conducted a final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, descending from 506 ft AGL to 41 ft AGL in 55 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

At the threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 86 kt.

Touchdown occurred 320 m down the runway at a good speed of 65 kt, with an excellent vertical rate of minus 73 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 482 m, representing 19 % of the 2 490 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

Maintain the current technique while fine-tuning flare timing to keep the touchdown point consistently near the 300 m aim point and continue monitoring speed to preserve the excellent vertical rate.
