The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA42-VI, then departed from runway 16L at KPAE Seattle Paine Field International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,502 feet, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 35°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 309°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Lake Stickney, Washington, and ascended from an altitude of 1,353 feet above sea level to 3,058 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,706 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile north of Picnic Point, Washington, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb phase overhead Clinton, Washington, and ascended from 3,656 feet above sea level to 4,499 feet above sea level, an increase of 843 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent phase overhead Langley, Washington. The descent from 4,503 feet above sea level to 1,348 feet above sea level resulted in a decrease of 3,155 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16R at KPAE Seattle Paine Field International Airport was made from the north, heading 181.0°, at an altitude of 786 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 16R was successful, with a touchdown speed of 60 knots and a touchdown rate of -90 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 992 feet, which is good considering the runway length of 9,002 feet. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 75 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 19 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at KPAE Seattle Paine Field International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 181.0° at 2 nautical miles and 786 feet above ground level (agl), which is a standard approach configuration for the runway 16R.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 75 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control and stabilize the aircraft's descent, ensuring a smooth touchdown. The touchdown distance of 992 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the approach.
The touchdown speed of 60 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -90 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, showing that the pilot was able to slow the aircraft down quickly and smoothly, reducing the risk of overrunning the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach, and the aircraft landed exactly on the centerline of the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 35°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 309°, were not particularly challenging, but the pilot still demonstrated a high level of proficiency in navigating the aircraft through these conditions.
The total landing distance of 1,816 feet was 20% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot was able to slow the aircraft down quickly and smoothly. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.
Overall, the DA42-VI aircraft's landing at KPAE Seattle Paine Field International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in navigating the aircraft through a standard approach and landing configuration.
