The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at Glasgow International Airport, with the DA42-VI aircraft taking off after a distance of 221 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 80 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it did so from runway 23, with the entry distance being less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 9 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 76.6 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 77 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 41.7 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 26 seconds to complete. The final turn was made in less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 233.0 degrees at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 106.7 meters above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 65 knots and a distance of 304 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was excellent at -0.3 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 587 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of -4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPF Glasgow International Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 99.21 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPF Glasgow International Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north east, with a heading of 233.0° at 1 nautical mile and 106.7 meters above ground level (agl). This approach was characterized by a high degree of precision, with a score of 99.2%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 82 knots, which is well within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 304 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was similarly good, and the touchdown rate of -0.3 meters per second was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The runway length of 2,353 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 587 meters, which was only 25% of the available runway length.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a consistent and accurate approach path. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing and rollout phases. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and it highlights the capabilities of the DA42-VI aircraft in a variety of weather conditions.
