Landing on runway 23R at LGKV Kavala Alexander the Great International Airport in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 97.89 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LGKV Kavala Alexander the Great International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 242.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,175 feet above ground level (agl), which is a standard approach procedure for the airport.

Upon landing on runway 23R, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 73 kt, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance and indicates a good control of the aircraft during the landing phase.

The touchdown speed of 63 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -24 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 270°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and a headwind of 2 kt.

The total landing distance of 717 meters was only 24% of the runway length, which is an excellent performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency in the pilot, and the DA40-NG aircraft performed well under the given conditions.
