Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA62 taxied from the parking area to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 05R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 82 kt and left the ground after a takeoff run of 632 m, representing 19 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 33 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 1°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.

A right-hand pattern entry was flown from runway 05R, the leg extending less than 1 nm and being completed in 49 seconds.

Subsequently, the aircraft executed a right-hand pattern crosswind leg from runway 05R, again covering less than 1 nm in 19 seconds.

The downwind turn was performed at an angle of 111.8° to the runway, traversing a distance of 1 nm.

The downwind leg continued for 3 nm and was flown in 76 seconds.

A base-leg turn followed, with a 45° angle to the runway of 36.3° and a distance of 2 nm.

The base leg itself was less than 1 nm long and was completed in 25 seconds.

The final turn to align with the runway covered 1 nm and required 50 seconds.

On final approach to runway 05R, the aircraft descended from 698 ft agl to 61 ft agl over 75 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.

Touchdown occurred on runway 05R, whose length is 3 284 m; the threshold height was good, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 77 kt, touchdown distance measured 414 m, touchdown speed was 72 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 293 fpm. Runway alignment at touchdown was perfect, and the weather remained temperature 33 °C, wind 3 kt from 1°, cross-wind 3 kt and head-wind 1 kt.

In total, the flight covered 8 nm, took 5 minutes, and consumed 54 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport was conducted with a descent from 698 ft agl to 61 ft agl over 75 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 33 °C with wind 3 kt from 1°, providing a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 77 kt, which was slightly below the target value. The flare was executed from the established height and speed.

Touchdown occurred 414 m down the runway at a speed of 72 kt, both judged good. The vertical touchdown rate was minus 293 fpm, assessed as fair, while runway alignment was perfect.

With a final score of 90.5 % the landing was strong; refining the approach to achieve the exact target threshold speed and moderating the flare to reduce the touchdown rate will tighten performance further.
