Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21L at EDCM Kamenz Airfield, a small airfield located in Kamenz, Saxony, Germany. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 181 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 63 knots, marking the beginning of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions consisting of a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead the airfield, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 964 feet above sea level to 998 feet, a gain of 34 feet in just one minute. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.

Once the enroute climb was completed, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 1 mile east of Kamenz, Saxony, Germany.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 21L at EDCM Kamenz Airfield, descending from an altitude of 104 feet above ground level while heading in a northeasterly direction. The aircraft maintained a steady airspeed and altitude, preparing for touchdown on the runway.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 49 knots and a distance of 157 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 57 knots, but the touchdown distance was well within acceptable limits. The aircraft's descent rate was also perfect, with a rate of -37 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the landing phase.

The flight came to an end with a total distance of 3 nautical miles, taking a total of 4 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a high level of efficiency and economy.
