The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 316.0° at 1 nautical mile and 301 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 32.
The runway length at EGNM Leeds Bradford Airport is 1,667 meters, providing a safe margin for the aircraft's landing. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 60 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement.
The touchdown distance of 119 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -40 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 310 meters was only 19% of the runway length, indicating a very short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and precision during the landing roll. Overall, the DA40-XLS aircraft performed exceptionally well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
