Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at Lelystad Airport, where the aircraft, a DA40-NG, took off with an initial speed of 72 knots. The takeoff distance covered 40% of the runway, totaling 501 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were mild, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269°, which resulted in a tailwind of 1 knot. These conditions allowed for a relatively smooth and efficient departure.
Following departure, the enroute climb started over Lelystad Airport, where the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 810 feet above sea level to 844 feet above sea level, an increase of 33 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb phase was brief and efficient, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities.
The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft maintained an altitude of 844 feet for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase of the flight showed the aircraft's ability to maintain a stable and efficient cruise altitude.
The enroute descent phase started approximately 1 mile east of Lelystad Airport, where the aircraft descended from an initial altitude of 1,521 feet above sea level to 215 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,306 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase demonstrated the aircraft's ability to effectively navigate descent.
The final approach to runway 23 at Lelystad Airport began approximately 1 nautical mile away, with the aircraft heading 231.0° at an altitude of 219 feet above ground level. The approach was made in the presence of a headwind of 1 knot, resulting from a wind direction of 270°. This contributed to a relatively stable and controlled approach.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the threshold speed being good at 72 knots, and the touchdown distance being within acceptable limits at 315 meters. The touchdown speed of 54 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -89 feet per minute was excellent. Notably, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline, suggesting that there may be an opportunity for improvement in navigation during the approach phase.
The total flight distance covered was 7 nautical miles, and the flight lasted 21 minutes, consuming 6 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight demonstrated the capabilities of the DA40-NG in terms of efficiency, stability, and control.

Stall Warning Activated at 23:22:00 |
A thorough examination of the DA40-NG's landing at EHLE Lelystad Airport highlights a nearly flawless performance with a score of 95.2%. The final approach began from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 231.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway and an altitude of 219 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's landing on runway 23 at EHLE Lelystad Airport, which measures 1,244 meters in length, suggests that the pilot had ample room for error. Moreover, a good threshold height implies that the pilot maintained the aircraft's height until the last possible moment, thereby increasing the margin for error in terms of touchdown distance.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed of 72 kt indicates that the pilot maintained control until the last moment, ensuring a controlled descent and minimizing the risk of a hard landing. The touchdown distance of 315 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's skill in executing a precision landing. The touchdown speed of 54 kt was spot on, indicating an excellent level of control throughout the landing phase.
Perhaps one area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was off-center by 8.7 meters. Despite this minor deviation, the aircraft's touchdown rate was impressive, with a rate of -89 ft per minute indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
Taking into account the relatively calm local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and minimal wind, the pilot's performance was all the more impressive. The 2-knot wind at 270° and negligible crosswind/ headwind meant that the landing conditions were generally favorable, allowing for a more precise execution of the approach. Overall, the pilot demonstrated high levels of skill and precision in landing the DA40-NG at EHLE Lelystad Airport.
