The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 107 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 58 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 348 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 08, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 39 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile, but in 35 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 60.8 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 63 seconds.

The base leg turn was completed with a distance of 1 nautical mile, and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 40.4 degrees. The base leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The final turn was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 from the west, heading 76.0 degrees at an altitude of 64.2 meters above ground level.

The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a threshold speed that was a little below the target speed of 59 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 148 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 48 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -1.2 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 351 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 312 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, which was covered in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used 29 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 08 at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome in the DA40-XLS

Landing Score 96.53 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 76.0° at an altitude of 64.2 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 796 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 59 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 148 meters, and the touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate of -1.2 meters per second was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 351°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 312 meters, which is 39% of the runway length.

The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
