What went well

Touched down at -93 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 0.37 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.23 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 14 %, −1.11 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 17.9 ° at 58 %, −0.70 points
Arrival Final 1 — Approach angle 3.7 ° at 68 %, −0.27 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The DA40-NG aircraft departed from runway 20 at LEJR Jerez Airport, located in Jerez de la Frontera, Andalusia, Spain. As the aircraft rolled out for takeoff, it required a takeoff distance of 300 meters, which accounts for just 13% of the runway. With a liftoff speed of 76 knots, the aircraft lifted into the air, overcoming the local conditions of 16°C temperature and 1-knot headwind from 270°.

Following a smooth takeoff, the enroute climb began, starting overhead the airport at an altitude of 732 feet above sea level. The aircraft climbed at a rapid pace to 3,042 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,310 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. This aggressive climb allowed the aircraft to establish itself at a comfortable cruising altitude.

As the aircraft continued towards its destination, the enroute level cruise took place 1 mile northwest of Jerez de la Frontera. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following this brief cruise, the enroute descent began, starting from 3 miles southwest of the town, descending from 2,610 feet above sea level to 1,360 feet.

During the descent phase, the aircraft covered 3 nautical miles in 2 minutes, reducing its altitude by 1,250 feet. This controlled descent placed the aircraft in a position to commence the final approach phase. The approach was made to runway 28 at LERT Rota Naval Station Airport, arriving from the east at a heading of 277.0°, and 4 nautical miles out, at an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level.

The final approach was well-executed, with the landing taking place on runway 28, which had a length of 2,651 meters. Notably, the threshold height was above the target value, and the touchdown speed of 58 knots was spot-on for the conditions. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute was an impressive excellent performance. Moreover, the runway touchdown alignment was spot-on, a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.

As the aircraft landed, it touched down 195 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but considering the circumstances, this was an acceptable outcome. The aircraft continued to roll out, making use of the runway to lose speed in a controlled manner. By the time the aircraft came to a stop, it had covered a total landing distance of 885 meters, which accounts for just 33% of the runway.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, allowing the aircraft to come to a complete stop without any issues. From there, the aircraft was taxied to its designated parking area in a short 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Throughout the flight, the DA40-NG aircraft consumed a mere 3 kilograms of fuel, highlighting its impressive efficiency. With a total flight distance of 16 nautical miles, the aircraft completed its journey in a total of 14 minutes.

Landing Summary

A recent aircraft landing report has been assessed, with the aircraft in question being a DA40-NG. The landing took place at LERT Rota Naval Station Airport, utilizing runway 28. The approach to the runway was made from the east, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) from the runway at a heading of 277.0°.

Upon analyzing the landing parameters, it appears that the final approach to the runway was carried out satisfactorily. The threshold height at 64 feet agl was slightly above the target, whereas the threshold speed of 82 kt significantly exceeded the target, indicating a potentially hard landing if not managed correctly. The touchdown point was located 195 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, however, landing speed at 58 kt was found to be within acceptable limits and well within regulatory standards.

Upon reviewing the performance during the landing phase, a notable positive aspect that caught attention was the low touchdown rate of -85 fpm. This is significantly below the standard touchdown rate threshold, denoting exceptional pilot skill. Additionally, it was determined that the runway touchdown alignment was executed perfectly, further emphasizing the high standard of pilot control.

Local meteorological conditions played a minimal role in the landing due to the slight crosswind and moderate headwind that barely registered around 1 kt from 270°. The temperature was recorded at 15°C, a relatively cool but favorable condition for the landing.

In conclusion, the total landing distance was found to be 885 meters, accounting for 33% of the designated runway length of 2,651 meters. The runway rollout alignment was also performed without any issues and perfectly aligned with the direction the aircraft was moving. Overall, the landing was deemed a success with exceptional control and execution displayed by the pilot.
