Arrival
This flight took place in a DA40-NG aircraft and started over Lelystad Airport in The Netherlands. Initially, the aircraft began its enroute climb, steadily increasing its altitude from negative 8 feet above sea level to 990 feet. This remarkable climb was achieved in a mere 1 minute, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The climb phase was a brief yet impressive demonstration of the aircraft's capabilities.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned to level cruise, hovering 1 mile south of Lelystad Airport for a period of 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft made excellent progress, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. After establishing a steady cruise, the aircraft set its sights on landing, commencing its final approach to runway 23 from the north east.
The final approach was executed with precise accuracy, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 227 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 266 feet above ground level. Upon landing, the aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 23, which measured 1,244 meters in length. Despite a slightly elevated threshold speed of 75 knots, the aircraft still managed to achieve a relatively gentle touchdown with a speed of 57 knots.
The touchdown distance was impressive, coming in at 360 meters. Notably, the touchdown rate was outstanding, averaging -57 feet per minute (fpm). While the aircraft did experience a slight misalignment of 5.1 meters from the runway centreline, its overall performance was commendable.
With a local temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and light winds of 2 knots at 270 degrees, the conditions were ideal for landing. The crosswind and headwind were both minimal, contributing to the aircraft's exceptional handling and stability.
Following an uneventful touchdown, the aircraft began its rollout, displaying excellent alignment on the runway. Taxiing out to the parking area took a mere 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight was extremely efficient, with a total distance of 4 nautical miles being covered in 7 minutes while only using 6 kilograms of fuel. The DA40-NG aircraft demonstrated its impressive capabilities in this comprehensive flight, showcasing its ability to navigate, climb, cruise, and land with precision and ease.

The aircraft, a DA40-NG, successfully completed a landing at EHLE Lelystad Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency. The final approach to runway 23 from the north-east was initiated at a heading of 227.0°, maintaining a close distance to the runway and optimal altitude of 266 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft's pilot executed the approach with precision, ensuring a smooth transition onto the runway.
The landing itself was noteworthy for its excellent performance. The threshold speed, although slightly above the target of 75 kt, did not have any significant impact on the overall outcome. The pilot managed to touch down at a speed of 57 kt, indicating a well-controlled descent and adherence to established landing protocols. Furthermore, the touchdown distance of 360 m was deemed satisfactory, reflecting the pilot's ability to maintain an optimal rate of descent.
Additionally, the touchdown rate was impressive, coming in at an excellent -57 fpm. This indicates a significant reduction in altitude upon touchdown, minimizing the impact of the landing and reducing the risk of aircraft damage. Moreover, the runway rollout alignment was rated as very good, reflecting the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing sequence.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and gentle winds of 2 kt at 270°. While there was a slight crosswind and headwind component, the pilot successfully navigated the landing without any notable issues. The total landing distance of 765 m, representing 62% of the runway length, indicates that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision throughout the landing sequence.
Overall, the DA40-NG achieved a high score of 97.3% for its landing at EHLE Lelystad Airport, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skills and adherence to established aviation protocols.
