Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Flight narrative

Departure from EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde commenced with a smooth roll down runway 23, the DA40-NG accelerating to liftoff speed of 69 kt in a distance of 468 meters, representing 19% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off with a minimal crosswind component of 1 kt, as the wind was blowing at 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible headwind or tailwind effect.

Following a brief enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde. The approach was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 52.0° at an altitude of 138 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target of 59 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 326 meters, which was 21% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 54 kt and the corresponding touchdown rate of -172 fpm were both within acceptable limits.

The landing was completed with a good runway rollout alignment, despite a slight misalignment of 5.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 518 meters was within the expected range, and the aircraft utilized a minimal amount of fuel, with a total flight distance of 4 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 0 kg. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt from 270°, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 59 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 326 m was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 54 kt was also good. The touchdown rate of -172 fpm was within the desired range, demonstrating a controlled descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft was slightly misaligned with the centreline by 5.0 m, which may be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach or a slight drift during the landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. The total landing distance of 518 m, which accounted for 21% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.

The approach quality was excellent, with a score of 98.8% reflecting a high degree of proficiency and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270 °, were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the smooth landing. Overall, the landing was well-executed, with a good balance of speed, distance, and control.
