The flight began with an enroute climb from 1,754 ft above sea level (asl) to 3,150 ft asl, an increase of 1,396 ft in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles (nm). This climb phase started approximately 1 mile northwest of Kennington in Kent, England. The aircraft, a DA42-VI, demonstrated a strong rate of climb, showcasing its capabilities.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, which began overhead Wye in Kent, England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nm. The cruise phase provided a brief period of steady flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain its altitude and speed.
The enroute descent phase started approximately 1 mile west of EGLQ Lyminge Airstrip in Lyminge, Kent, England. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 3,198 ft asl to 2,682 ft asl, a decrease of 515 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. This descent phase was followed by another enroute level cruise phase, which began overhead EGLE Pent Farm Airstrip in Lyminge, Kent, England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nm.
The final descent phase started approximately 1 mile southwest of Lympne in Kent, England. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 2,482 ft asl to 661 ft asl, a decrease of 1,821 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. This marked the beginning of the final approach to runway 21 at EGMD Lydd London Ashford Airport.
The final approach was made from the north-east, heading 205.0° at 2 nm and 635 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 1,459 m. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 90 kt. However, the touchdown speed at 62 kt was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -177 fpm.
The touchdown point was 126 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 5.3 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C, with a wind speed of 8 kt at 90°. The crosswind was 7 kt, and the tailwind was 4 kt.
In conclusion, the flight was completed in 11 minutes, covering a total distance of 18 nm and using 11 kg of fuel. The DA42-VI aircraft demonstrated its capabilities in various phases of flight, including climb, cruise, and descent. However, there were some minor issues with the final approach, including a slightly high threshold speed and a misaligned runway touchdown position.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed on runway 21 at EGMD Lydd London Ashford Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 205.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 635 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 126 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which indicates a slight deviation from the intended touchdown point. However, the touchdown speed of 62 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the deviation from the touchdown zone.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed of 90 knots was too high. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to the approach to improve the landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
Overall, the landing was considered good, with the pilot demonstrating a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and the ability to make adjustments to achieve a safe and controlled touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of precision and adherence to the standard operating procedures.
