The flight in question was conducted using a DA40-NG aircraft. The enroute climb phase began 9 miles west of Godech, a location near Sofia, Bulgaria. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 9,607 feet above sea level to the same altitude, resulting in a net increase of 0 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered the enroute level cruise phase, which started 9 miles west of Godech and lasted for 1,076 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 128 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by the enroute descent phase, which began 9 miles southeast of Ripanj, a location in Central Serbia, Serbia. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 9,109 feet above sea level to 1,306 feet above sea level, a drop of 7,802 feet in just 9 minutes, while covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 292.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 976 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 485 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than the target speed at 88 knots, while the touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters.
The local weather conditions during the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,267 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 151 nautical miles, which was covered in 69 minutes, and the aircraft used 36 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport (LYBE) on runway 30. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 292.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 976 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 88 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 485 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have slightly over-extended the landing. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was also faster than the desired speed, which could have contributed to the extended landing distance.
Despite the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 3.2 meters, the pilot demonstrated excellent control during the landing. The touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which likely contributed to the aircraft's stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,267 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft's landing at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired touchdown point and speed, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
