The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at EGFI Fishburn Airfield, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 95 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it did so from runway 08, with the entry distance being less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 46.3 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 93 seconds to complete.

Following the downwind leg, the pilot executed a base leg turn, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 23.7 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 13 seconds to complete. The final turn was also less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 from the west, flying at a heading of 92.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 110.4 meters above ground level.

The landing on runway 08 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 58 knots and a distance of 162 meters. The touchdown speed was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -0.6 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during the takeoff. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kilograms.

Landing on runway 08 at EGFI Fishburn Airfield in the DA40-XLS

Landing Score 92.9 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGFI Fishburn Airfield, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 92.0° at 1 nautical mile and 110.4 meters above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 162 meters, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 58 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively. The touchdown rate of -0.6 meters per second was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had avoided any hard or abrupt landings.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline throughout the approach and landing. This is a critical aspect of safe and controlled landings, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting off the runway or experiencing a loss of control.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot. Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control.
