Arrival
Departing from the vicinity of Dinner Plain in the State of Victoria, Australia, the DA62 began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 6,477 feet above sea level to 4,603 feet above sea level, a vertical gain of 1,874 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a horizontal distance of 5 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient climb performance. The climb was initiated 3 miles northeast of Dinner Plain, setting the stage for the subsequent phases of the flight.
As the DA62 approached Mount Hotham Airport, it began its final approach to runway 11 from the northwestern direction, maintaining a heading of 125.0 degrees at an altitude of 341 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The aircraft's approach speed and configuration were well-managed, with a threshold speed of 82 knots and a touchdown speed of 72 knots, both of which were within acceptable limits. The landing distance of 308 meters was also satisfactory, with the aircraft touching down at the correct point on the runway.
The DA62 landed safely on runway 11, which has a length of 1,457 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from 228 degrees. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute was slightly below the optimal range, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance of 535 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was reasonable. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. The flight, which covered a total distance of 5 nautical miles, consumed approximately 1 kilogram of fuel and lasted for 3 minutes.

The final approach to runway 11 at YHOT Mount Hotham Airport from the north west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 125.0° at 1 nm and 341 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 82 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 72 kt, with a touchdown distance of 308 m, which was within the expected parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a relatively low touchdown rate of -291 fpm, although this was slightly below the ideal rate. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 15 kt at 228°, presented a moderate crosswind component of 14 kt, but the tailwind component of 4 kt was minimal. The aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the wind conditions.
The rollout phase was executed with great skill, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 535 m was 37% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 92.9%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot. The landing was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise in executing a safe and efficient landing in challenging weather conditions.
Warning: Landed with a 4 kt tailwind
