The aircraft in question was a DA40-NG, which performed a series of maneuvers over the St. Gallen Altenrhein Airport, located in the Kanton St. Gallen, Switzerland. The flight began with an enroute climb, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,339 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,326 feet asl, an increase of 987 feet in just one minute, while covering 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was achieved by flying from the airport, which is situated in a valley, up to a higher altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, where it flew at a constant altitude for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles, and positioned itself 1 mile north of the town of Gaissau, located in the Vorarlberg region of Austria. This phase of the flight was characterized by a steady and controlled pace, allowing the aircraft to conserve energy and maintain a stable flight path.
The final approach to runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 98.0° and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. At an altitude of 347 feet above ground level, the aircraft began its descent, preparing for landing. The approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 10, which was 1,322 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots. The touchdown distance was 127 meters, which was considered good, and the touchdown speed was 59 knots, which was also within acceptable limits. The landing rate was excellent, with a negative rate of -61 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. There was a slight crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions, and the landing was executed with precision. The total landing distance was 455 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown.
In conclusion, the DA40-NG performed a series of maneuvers with precision and control, demonstrating its capabilities in various flight scenarios. The flight was characterized by a rapid climb, a steady cruise, and a smooth final approach and landing.

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 98.0° at 1 nautical mile and 347 feet above ground level (agl), indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 66 knots. This suggests that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed effectively, ensuring a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown distance of 127 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 59 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a very smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots, which did not appear to affect the landing.
The total landing distance of 455 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft's landing at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
