This flight was conducted in a DA40-XLS aircraft, which took off from Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, also known as Gustavia / Saint-Jean, located in Guadeloupe, Guadeloupe. The enroute climb began immediately after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 28 feet above sea level to 40 feet above sea level, a gain of 12 feet in less than one minute, while covering a distance of less than one nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the destination airport, it began its final approach to runway 10, which has a length of 642 meters. The approach was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 85.0 degrees at a distance of one nautical mile and an altitude of 557 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 75 knots, but the threshold height was good.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 57 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was good at 161 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 222 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 325 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft used a total of 39 kilograms of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and took approximately 5 minutes to complete.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at TFFJ Saint Barthélemy - Rémy de Haenen Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.0%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 85.0° at 1 nautical mile and 557 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on the runway with a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 75 kt, but still within a safe margin. The landing distance was also satisfactory, with the aircraft touching down at 161 meters. The touchdown speed of 57 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 3 kt from 222°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 kt each, which likely contributed to the smooth landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which could be achieved through more gentle descent and application of brakes.
