This flight was on a DA42-VI aircraft, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than a 1-nautical-mile distance. The departure roll began from runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, with the entire takeoff distance covering just 10% of the runway. The aircraft managed to lift off at a speed of 80 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff indicated a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind. The enroute climb started shortly after departing the airport, and as the aircraft climbed from 1,575 to 2,558 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
During the enroute descent, the aircraft began its descent from 2,586 feet above sea level to 1,289 feet, resulting in a 1,297-foot decrease in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, it maintained a heading of 242 degrees at an altitude of 104 feet above ground level.
The final approach and landing took place on runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, which is approximately 3,989 meters long. Although the threshold height was satisfactory, the threshold speed was higher than expected, coming in at 121 knots. The touchdown point was 342 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect, at -17 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was found to be misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline. During this final approach and landing, the local weather conditions had shifted, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 224 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
The total flight distance covered was 4 nautical miles, and the entire flight consumed 6 minutes of flight time and approximately 12 kilograms of fuel.

A recent landing operation at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport has been analyzed, with an aircraft DA42-VI scoring 83.6% overall. The flight successfully approached runway 24 from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 242.0° at an altitude of 104 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nm from the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed safely on the 3,989-meter runway, with a good threshold height. However, it was noted that the threshold speed was excessively high at 121 kt, indicating a possible need for adjustments in the flight's descent and speed management. The touchdown point was located 342 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 72 kt that was slightly too fast. In terms of rate of descent, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown rate of -17 fpm that met expectations.
Despite the successful landing, there were some discrepancies in the runway alignment. The plane touched down 11.9 meters off-center from the runway's centerline, indicating that the flight may not have properly aligned with the runway in preparation for touchdown.
Weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 20°C and wind speeds of 3 kt at 224°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 3 kt, which did not appear to significantly impact the flight's landing operation. Overall, the flight demonstrated a satisfactory level of proficiency in landing the aircraft, but attention to details such as speed management and alignment could be beneficial for future improvement.
