The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGHJ Bembridge Airport, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 196 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 58 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 30, it demonstrated a swift and efficient maneuver, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 15 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg also showed impressive agility, with the aircraft completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds. The pattern downwind leg was a bit longer, covering 2 nautical miles in 70 seconds.
The pattern base leg turn was a critical phase of the flight, where the aircraft turned towards the runway at an angle of 45 degrees and a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading at 297.0 degrees and at an altitude of 234 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 30 was a smooth and controlled operation, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 30 meters and a speed of 54 knots. The touchdown rate was an impressive -75 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful and efficient operation, with the DA40-XLS aircraft demonstrating its agility and maneuverability throughout the flight. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1 kilogram.
