Departure
Arrival
The flight began with an enroute climb from 2,074 ft above sea level (asl) to the same altitude, resulting in no net gain in altitude. This climb phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile (nm). The aircraft then transitioned to an enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile west of Smrika in the Primorsko-Goranska Zupanija region of Croatia. This cruise phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nm.
The flight then entered another enroute climb phase, this time from overhead Jadranovo, where the aircraft climbed from 2,606 ft asl to 5,529 ft asl, an increase of 2,924 ft in 6 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 10 nm. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Bribir and lasted for 11 minutes. This cruise phase covered a distance of 28 nm.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft entered an enroute descent phase from 6,008 ft asl to 3,992 ft asl, a decrease of 2,016 ft in 4 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 9 nm. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Plitvicka Jezera and lasted for 4 minutes. This cruise phase covered a distance of 5 nm.
The flight then entered another enroute descent phase from 4,093 ft asl to 2,504 ft asl, a decrease of 1,588 ft in 4 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 8 nm. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north east of Covici and lasted for 9 minutes. This cruise phase covered a distance of 2 nm.
The final approach to runway 14 at LDRO Otočac Airfield was initiated from the north west, with a heading of 117.0° and an altitude of 389 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 1,598 meters. However, the threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 97 knots.
The touchdown point was 116 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 79 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -286 feet per minute (fpm). Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°.
The total landing distance was 829 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.6 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 65 nm, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used 15 kg of fuel during the flight.

Flaps Fully Retracted at 22:43:30 |
The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LDRO Otočac Airfield, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 117.0° at 0 nm and 389 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 14, which has a length of 1,598 m. However, the threshold height at 89 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been higher than desired at the point of touchdown.
Upon further analysis, it was found that the threshold speed was too high at 97 kn, which is above the recommended speed for landing. This could have contributed to the aircraft's excessive speed at touchdown, which was recorded at 79 kn. The touchdown rate of -286 fpm was fair, but the touchdown point was 116 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing.
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 kn at 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kn, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 kn. Despite these favorable conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was not optimal.
The total landing distance was 829 m, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been traveling at a higher speed than necessary for a safe landing. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.6 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the overall performance issues.
Overall, while the DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LDRO Otočac Airfield, there were several areas for improvement in terms of landing performance. The aircraft's speed and height at touchdown were both above target, and the landing distance was longer than desired. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot may be able to achieve a more optimal landing performance in the future.
