The flight began with an enroute climb from Comiso Airport in Sicilia, Italy, where the aircraft, a DA40-NG, took off and climbed to an altitude of 2,299 ft asl. However, the climb was brief, lasting only 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a similarly short distance.

The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 2,299 ft asl to 5,584 ft asl, an increase of 3,285 ft in 9 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 17 nm, taking the aircraft further north. The cruise phase that followed lasted for 47 minutes and covered a significant distance of 109 nm, with the aircraft flying 3 miles east of Palazzolo Acreide.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began a descent from 5,999 ft asl to 1,993 ft asl, a decrease of 4,006 ft in 5 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 13 nm and took the aircraft 8 miles northwest of Tropea in Calabria, Italy. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, this time lasting 16 minutes and covering 15 nm.

The final descent began 1 mile north of San Pietro a Maida, where the aircraft descended from 2,420 ft asl to 1,010 ft asl, a decrease of 1,411 ft in 2 minutes. This descent covered a short distance of 2 nm.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28 at Lamezia Terme Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 277.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway, which was 2,544 m long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below target at 64 kt, but the touchdown distance was good at 110 m, and the touchdown speed was also good at 62 kt.

The touchdown rate was perfect at -28 fpm, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 kt.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 159 nm, and the flight lasted 73 minutes, using 33 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 28 at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 92.49 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 277.0° at 2 nautical miles and 964 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 28, which has a length of 2,544 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 64 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 110 meters. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -28 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 2 knots at 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. The crosswind was negligible at 0 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots, which was favorable for the landing.

The total landing distance was 332 meters, which is 13% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.7 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of aligning the aircraft with the centerline during the rollout phase.
