The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at VOMM Chennai International Airport, where the aircraft, a DR400, accelerated to a liftoff speed of 82 kt. The takeoff distance was 259 m, which accounted for 12% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it began a turn from runway 12, covering a distance of 1 nm in just 9 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn from the same runway was completed in less than 1 nm in 22 seconds. The downwind turn, which was part of the pattern, covered a distance of 1 nm and involved a turn of 45.5 ° relative to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 4 nm long and took 127 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn, which preceded the final approach, covered a distance of 2 nm and involved a turn of 8.6 ° relative to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nm long and took 25 seconds to complete. The final approach to runway 12 was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 115.0 ° and an altitude of 872 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 2 nm from the runway.

The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 50 kt and a distance of 209 m from the threshold. The touchdown rate was good at -184 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.3 m. The total landing distance was 475 m, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.7 m.

The total flight distance was 9 nm, and the flight took 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled approach and landing, despite some minor deviations from the centreline.

Landing on runway 12 at VOMM Chennai International Airport in the DR400

Landing Score 92.56 %

Landing Summary

The DR400 aircraft successfully landed at VOMM Chennai International Airport, achieving a score of 92.6%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 115.0° at 2 nautical miles and 872 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 12, which has a length of 2,108 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 66 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a safe speed during the approach. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 209 meters. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory.

However, there were some minor issues during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach. Additionally, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were negligible, at 0 and 1 knot, respectively.

The total landing distance was 475 meters, which is 23% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more accurate alignment during the approach and rollout phases.
