Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departure from Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB) began with a smooth departure roll on runway 25R, with the DA42-VI aircraft accelerating to liftoff speed of 92 kt in a distance of 1,024 m, which accounted for 34% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 19 kt from 261°, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and an 18 kt headwind.

As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it began climbing from 1,013 ft above sea level to 1,995 ft, an increase of 982 ft over a distance of 4 nm in 2 minutes. This climb was followed by a descent from 1,994 ft to 1,480 ft, a decrease of 514 ft over a similar distance and time. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 1,995 ft for 4 minutes while covering 7 nm. The final approach to runway 05 at Deland Municipal Sidney H Taylor Field (KDED) was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 45.0° at 1 nm and 322 ft above ground level.

The landing on runway 05 was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 64 kt and a touchdown rate of -120 fpm. The touchdown distance of 155 m was within acceptable limits, accounting for 37% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the total landing distance of 483 m was well within the expected range. The total flight distance of 18 nm was completed in 9 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 6 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 98.44 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 05 at KDED Deland Municipal Sidney H Taylor Field, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The pilot maintained a good threshold speed of 74 kt, allowing for a controlled descent onto the runway. The touchdown distance of 155 m was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown speed of 64 kt was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -120 fpm was smooth, minimizing the impact on the aircraft's landing gear.

As the aircraft rolled out, it remained perfectly aligned with the centreline, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 19 kt at 261 °, presented a moderate crosswind component of 10 kt and a tailwind component of 16 kt. However, the pilot successfully managed these conditions to achieve a perfect runway rollout alignment. The total landing distance of 483 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.

The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a score of 97.5%. The approach quality was excellent, and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through the challenging weather conditions was commendable. The touchdown characteristics, centreline alignment, and rollout all contributed to a smooth and controlled landing, making this a successful operation.
