What went well

Touched down at -121 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 264 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.15 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Pattern Downwind — Heading 6.7 ° at 89 %, −0.16 points
Arrival Touchdown — scored 99.18 %, −0.07 points

Next time

Arrival

On downwind, use small aileron and rudder corrections to hold the wings-parallel heading against the runway.

What happened: On the downwind leg the heading drifted 6.7° off the runway-parallel track.

Watch for: Heading indicator: parallel to the runway 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 DA40 taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 418 m, representing 17 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 67 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

During the approach the pilot entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 18 seconds for the entry and another less-than-1 nm segment in 20 seconds for the cross-wind leg. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm at an angle of 107.9° to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 63 seconds. The base turn covered 1 nm at a 41.0° angle, and the base leg was less than 1 nm in 27 seconds. The final turn was also less than 1 nm and lasted 14 seconds. On final approach to runway 23 the aircraft descended from 378 ft AGL to 31 ft AGL in 48 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.

Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2 490 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 67 kt. Touchdown occurred 262 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 121 fpm and perfect runway-centerline alignment. The total landing distance measured 532 m, equivalent to 21 % of the runway length.

The rollout continued with the aircraft remaining aligned perfectly with the runway centreline, confirming a controlled deceleration to a stop.

In total the flight covered 6 nm, required a duration of 5 (units as recorded), and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40 completed the final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, descending from 378 ft agl to 31 ft agl in 48 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 67 kt.

Touchdown occurred 262 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 121 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 532 m, representing 21 % of the 2,490 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

To refine the already high score of 98.7 %, adjust the approach speed to meet the exact target and fine-tune the descent profile to maintain the optimal vertical path through the stabilisation gates.
