The flight began with a departure roll from runway 15 at CYXU London Airport, where the aircraft, a DA62, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,452 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 92 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26 °F and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 210 °. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead CYXU London Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,319 feet above sea level to 2,616 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,298 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of London, Ontario, Canada. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,610 feet above sea level to 1,860 feet above sea level, a decrease of 751 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 3 miles east of London, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at CYXU London Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 256.0 ° at an altitude of 292 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.

The landing on runway 27 was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 93 knots. The touchdown point was 546 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 74 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -236 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 61 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 °F and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 201 °. The crosswind component was 17 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,491 feet, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 55 feet from the centreline. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The DA62 aircraft successfully landed at CYXU London Airport, but with some notable deviations from ideal performance. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 256.0° at 1 nm and 292 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 6,285 ft, indicating that the runway was more than sufficient to accommodate the landing.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed of 93 kn, which may indicate some difficulty in maintaining a stable approach. The touchdown point was located 546 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. However, the touchdown speed of 74 kn was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -236 fpm was fair.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 °F, with a wind speed of 21 kn from 201°. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 kn and a headwind of 11 kn. The aircraft's landing distance of 2,491 ft was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the wind conditions.

However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 61 ft from the centreline, which may indicate some difficulty in maintaining a stable approach or a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 55 ft from the centreline, which may indicate some difficulty in controlling the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the DA62 aircraft successfully landed at CYXU London Airport, there were some notable deviations from ideal performance, particularly in terms of approach speed, touchdown point, and runway alignment. These deviations may be attributed to the challenging weather conditions and the pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach and control the aircraft's direction during the landing phase.
