Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a DA42-VI, then departed from runway 34L at KPAE Seattle Paine Field International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,450 feet, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 76 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Mukilteo, Washington, and ascended from an altitude of 1,101 feet above sea level to 2,019 feet above sea level, an increase of 918 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Clinton, Washington. This phase lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 31 at CYVR Vancouver International Airport, approaching from the south east at a heading of 324.0° and at an altitude of 1,604 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 31 was successful, with the threshold height being slightly above the target and the threshold speed being good at 71 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 1,551 feet, and the touchdown speed was 60 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was excellent at -88 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 130°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,285 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 86 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 38 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 62 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 31 at CYVR Vancouver International Airport in the Diamond DA42 Twin Star
Landing Score 96.17 %
Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 31, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 324.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,604 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a threshold height slightly above the target at 60 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 71 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,551 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, as the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment.

The total landing distance of 2,285 feet was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was a success, with the DA42-VI aircraft demonstrating a high degree of skill and precision in its approach and touchdown.
