The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at Glasgow International Airport, with the DA42-VI aircraft taking off after a distance of 198 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 80 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was navigated in less than 1 nautical mile in 9 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and making an angle of 55.4 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 86 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was made at an angle of 35.3 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg was then completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The final turn was also short, taking less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 228 degrees at an altitude of 125 meters above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 68 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, which was within the target range, and the touchdown rate was -0.7 meters per second, indicating a smooth descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during the departure.

The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed efficiently, with the aircraft navigating the right-hand pattern and landing smoothly on runway 23.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPF Glasgow International Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 98.57 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPF Glasgow International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 228.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 125.0 meters above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 2,353 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 87 kn, coming in at 88 kn. This minor deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing.

The touchdown point was located 68 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 66 kn was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -0.7 m/s was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway as it touched down.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 kn from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kn, and the headwind component was also 1 kn, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a short distance of the touchdown point.
