The flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, departing from Gibraltar Airport (LXGB). Taxiing from the parking to the runway took a relatively short 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll began on runway 27, and the takeoff distance required was 478 meters, which translates to about 31% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 84 knots.
Once airborne, the enroute climb commenced, with the aircraft soaring overhead Gibraltar. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an initial height of 829 feet above sea level to a final height of 1,736 feet, representing an increase of 907 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The conditions for this leg were characterized by a relatively calm atmosphere, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, minimal wind at 1 knot flowing from a southerly direction, and a gentle headwind.
Later on, the enroute descent started approximately 1 mile south of Gibraltar. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an initial height of 1,751 feet to a final height of 98 feet above sea level, marking a decrease of 1,652 feet over 2 minutes, with the aircraft covering the same 2 nautical miles. The weather conditions remained consistent throughout this leg as well.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent towards runway 27 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport, with the heading aligned towards the east at 268.0 degrees, and at an altitude of 88 feet above the ground. Upon landing, the threshold height was reported to be acceptable, while the threshold speed was achieved at 54 knots, which is below the target speed, requiring extra care to prevent stalling.
The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 64 meters, and the touchdown speed was achieved at 50 knots, marking a smooth and controlled descent. Moreover, the touchdown rate of -169 foor-per-minute (fpm) was deemed to be well within acceptable limits. Notably, the runway touchdown position exhibited slight misalignment, being 4 meters off the centerline. The local weather conditions were relatively consistent during the landing, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, and no crosswind, while maintaining a gentle headwind of 1 knot flowing from a southerly direction.
The overall flight distance was approximately 6 nautical miles, which was covered in a duration of 9 minutes. The flight operations utilized 2 kilograms of fuel.

The DA40-NG aircraft's landing at LXGB Gibraltar Airport was a success, with a commendable score of 97.6%. The pilot skillfully approached the runway 27 from the east, adhering to a heading of 268.0° at a distance of 0 nm and a height of 88 ft above the ground level.
Upon reaching the threshold height, the pilot successfully executed a smooth touchdown. The threshold speed of 54 kt was remarkably low, well below the target, and this is a notable achievement, considering the aircraft must not stall during this critical moment. The pilot demonstrated exceptional control and finesse in landing the aircraft safely.
An observation was made regarding the touchdown distance of 64 m, which was deemed satisfactory. The speed at touchdown, clocked at 50 kt, also matched the ideal conditions, reflecting the pilot's expertise. The landing rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm) was another significant aspect where the pilot performed admirably. This is crucial because a high touchdown rate could be indicative of an improper landing technique.
However, a small observation was noted in terms of the runway touchdown position, which was positioned 4.0 meters off the centerline. While this issue can potentially affect the aircraft's overall performance and balance, in the context of the given situation, it was likely a minor deviation and not a cause for concern.
Weather conditions surrounding the landing were also benign, with an ambient temperature of 15 °C and light winds of 1 kt from 270°. The absence of any significant crosswind and the presence of a gentle headwind further contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
