This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed as it flew 1 mile northeast of the airport. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, allowing the pilot to stabilize the aircraft and prepare for the final approach.
The final approach to runway 10 at Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 97.0 degrees and descending to an altitude of 149 feet above ground level. The pilot expertly guided the aircraft onto the runway, taking advantage of the favorable wind conditions, which included a gentle tailwind of 2 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 57 knots and a touchdown distance of 72 meters. The touchdown rate was an impressive -57 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light wind, contributed to a safe and successful landing.
The total landing distance was 320 meters, which accounted for only 24% of the runway length. This efficient landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's capabilities. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown.
In conclusion, the flight was a success, with the DA40-NG aircraft performing well throughout the enroute climb, level cruise, and final approach.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 97.0°, at an altitude of 149 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This indicates a precise and controlled descent, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and altitude.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target of 59 knots. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall outcome of the landing. The touchdown distance of 72 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision in the aircraft's approach.
The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, as it suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down with minimal impact and disturbance. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience in handling the DA40-NG.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. This minimal wind had a negligible effect on the aircraft's approach and landing, allowing the pilot to maintain a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The total landing distance of 320 meters, which accounted for only 24% of the runway length, further highlights the pilot's expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled touchdown.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency and skill in handling the DA40-NG aircraft, and is a testament to the pilot's ability to navigate complex flight scenarios with precision and control.
