What went well

Touchdown 258 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.04 m off the centreline, no bounce
Rotated at 78 kt — on the 75 kt rotation target

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 50 %, −5.56 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 61 %, −1.33 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -238 fpm at 65 %, −0.79 points

Next time

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 82 kt over the threshold.

What happened: Threshold speed was 8 kt slow at 74 kt, and the flare began late at 6.2 ft, well below the normal band. Crossing slow and flaring late like this usually leaves little energy and time to check the sink, and the touchdown then comes in firm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 82 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the DA50 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 84 kt in a distance of 674 meters, which accounted for 27% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed smoothly, taking 20 seconds to complete the turn. The downwind leg was flown at an angle of 77.9° to the runway, with a distance of 1 nm. The base leg turn was then initiated, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 46.6° to the runway, before aligning with the runway for the final approach. The aircraft touched down on runway 23, with a touchdown distance of 261 meters, a speed of 69 kt, and a firm touchdown rate of -308 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase.

The flight was characterized by a total distance of 7 nm, which was completed in 5 minutes, using a fuel consumption of 3 kg. The aircraft's performance was impressive, given the favorable weather conditions and the relatively short runway length. The DA50's ability to navigate the traffic pattern efficiently and land smoothly on the runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was a testament to its design and handling characteristics.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, aligning with the heading of 232.0° at 0 nm and 191 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 74 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 261 m, and the touchdown speed of 69 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -308 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.

The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout. The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 98.8% achieved. The slight delay in threshold speed was the only deviation from the ideal performance, but it did not impact the overall quality of the landing. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled execution of the approach and touchdown.
