Arrival Final 2

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGHJ Bembridge Airport, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 161 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 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 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb overhead Brading on the Isle of Wight, England. The climb started from an altitude of 509 feet above sea level and reached 889 feet above sea level, an increase of 380 feet in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 22 at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 223.0 degrees at an altitude of 842 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

The landing on runway 22 at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport was successful, with a runway length of 906 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, at 196 meters, and the touchdown speed was 49 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -81 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 7.6 meters. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.

In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 3 nautical miles, taking 2 minutes to complete, and used 1 kilogram of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled climb, approach, and landing, with good weather conditions throughout.

Landing report
Landing on runway 22 at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 94.05 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 842 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 906 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots, which may be a minor concern for the pilot to address in future approaches.

The touchdown distance of 196 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down effectively. The touchdown rate of -81 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline. This may be due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. However, this was not a significant concern, and the pilot was still able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which made the landing conditions relatively easy. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop on the runway.
