What went well

Touched down at -87 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 302 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 30 ft and 72 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Pattern Downwind — Heading 6.8 ° at 88 %, −0.17 points
Pattern Base Leg — scored 98.43 %, −0.07 points

Next time

Arrival

On downwind, use small aileron and rudder corrections to hold the wings-parallel heading against the runway.

What happened: On the downwind leg the heading drifted 6.8° off the runway-parallel track.

Watch for: Heading indicator: parallel to the runway on downwind.

See Pattern Downwind

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA40 departed from runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, accelerating through a takeoff roll of 362 m which represented 15 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 62 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt, including a 1 kt cross-component and a 2 kt headwind component.

The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern on runway 23, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 20 seconds.

Continuing the left-hand pattern, the aircraft proceeded through the crosswind segment, again traveling less than 1 nm and requiring 23 seconds to complete the leg.

During the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with an angle to the runway of 141.6°.

The downwind leg was flown for less than 1 nm and was completed in 34 seconds.

The base-leg turn was executed over a distance of 1 nm, with the aircraft aligning to the runway at an angle of 19.7°.

Landing was made on runway 23, whose length is 2,490 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 72 kt. Touchdown occurred 300 m down the runway at a speed of 56 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 87 fpm and perfect alignment. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind from 269° at 2 kt, comprising a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.

The rollout covered a total distance of 504 m, representing 20 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.

In total, the flight covered 3 nm, took 3, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40 approached runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde in calm conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 72 kt as it aligned with the centreline.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft sustained the good threshold height, kept the threshold speed of 72 kt, and achieved a touchdown distance of 300 m. The flare produced a touchdown speed of 56 kt, a touchdown rate of -87 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment.

Touchdown was recorded at the intended speed of 56 kt with a rate of -87 fpm and perfect alignment, resulting in a total landing distance of 504 m, which is 20 % of the 2,490 m runway length.

The rollout continued with perfect runway rollout alignment, completing the landing without deviation.

With a score of 98.7 % the landing was essentially flawless; focus on preserving the precise touchdown point and monitoring total distance to keep the rollout well within the runway margin. Maintaining the current speed and alignment techniques will sustain this high level of performance.
