The flight in question was conducted on a DA62 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from 1,454 ft above sea level (asl) to the same altitude, resulting in a negligible increase of 0 ft in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile (nm). This initial climb was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nm, also starting from 1 mile north east of Maersta in Stockholm County, Sweden.

The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 1,454 ft asl to 5,997 ft asl, an increase of 4,543 ft in 9 minutes, covering 20 nm. This climb was initiated from the same location as the previous climbs. Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise, lasting 22 minutes and covering 68 nm, starting from 6 miles west of Kungsberga in Stockholm County, Sweden.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft began an enroute descent from 5,997 ft asl to 1,781 ft asl, a decrease of 4,216 ft in 4 minutes, covering 12 nm, initiated overhead Skaerblacka in Ostergotland County, Sweden. The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern, with a distance of 3 nm covered in 47 seconds.

The flight continued with an enroute level cruise, lasting 1 minute and covering 1 nm, starting from 2 miles north west of Sturefors in Ostergotland County, Sweden. Subsequently, the aircraft began an enroute descent from 1,975 ft asl to 603 ft asl, a decrease of 1,372 ft in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm, initiated 3 miles east of Slaka in Ostergotland County, Sweden.

The aircraft then initiated an enroute climb from 556 ft asl to 1,453 ft asl, an increase of 897 ft in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm, starting overhead ESSL Linkoping City Airport in Ostergotland County, Sweden. Following this climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise, lasting 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nm, starting from 1 mile west of Askeby in Ostergotland County, Sweden.

As the flight neared its conclusion, the aircraft began an enroute descent from 1,514 ft asl to 468 ft asl, a decrease of 1,046 ft in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm, initiated 1 mile west of Askeby in Ostergotland County, Sweden. The aircraft then initiated a final approach to runway 29 at ESSL Linkoping City Airport from the south east, heading 294.0° at 1 nm and 298 ft above ground level (agl).

The landing on runway 29 at ESSL Linkoping City Airport was conducted with a runway length of 2,127 m. The threshold height at 108 ft agl was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 116 kt. The touchdown point was 413 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 81 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -293 fpm. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.9 m from the centreline.

The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, wind of 2 kt at 270°, crosswind of 1 kt, and headwind of 2 kt. The total landing distance was 1,142 m, accounting for 54% of the runway. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 19.4 m from the centreline.

The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than

Takeoff on runway at in the DA62

Landing on runway 29 at ESSL Linköping City Airport in the DA62

Landing Score 68.87 %

Landing Summary

The DA62 aircraft has successfully landed at ESSL Linköping City Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach to runway 29 from the south east was initiated at an altitude of 298 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft was heading 294.0° at the time of the approach.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 81 knots was slightly higher than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute was fair but not exceptional. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 16.9 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the deviation from the intended landing spot.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Despite the favorable weather conditions, the pilot struggled to maintain a precise approach and landing.

One of the notable issues with this landing was the excessive threshold height, which was 108 feet agl, significantly above the target height. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 116 knots, which could have contributed to the difficulties in maintaining a precise approach. The total landing distance of 1,142 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is relatively long but not excessively so.

The rollout alignment after the landing was also misaligned by 19.4 meters from the centerline, which suggests that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while the DA62 aircraft successfully landed at ESSL Linköping City Airport, the landing was marred by several issues that could be addressed through further training and practice.
