A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, a DA40-NG aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 285 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 66 knots, a smooth and controlled start to the flight.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, the weather conditions were noted to be calm, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind, which would have a minimal impact on the flight.

The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport in a clockwise direction. The entry into the pattern was swift, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 17 seconds. The subsequent crosswind leg was also completed efficiently, with the aircraft covering the same distance in 27 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it entered the downwind turn, a critical phase of the flight where the pilot must carefully control the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway. The distance covered during this turn was 1 nautical mile, and the angle to the runway was a precise 59.3 degrees.

The downwind leg itself was a steady and controlled phase of the flight, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed and altitude. The distance covered during this leg was 2 nautical miles, and the time taken was 63 seconds.

The pilot then initiated the base leg turn, a critical phase of the flight where the aircraft must be aligned with the runway for a smooth and controlled landing. The distance covered during this turn was 1 nautical mile, and the angle to the runway was a precise 50.6 degrees.

The base leg itself was a short and controlled phase of the flight, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed and altitude. The distance covered during this leg was less than 1 nautical mile, and the time taken was 23 seconds.

The final turn was a swift and controlled phase of the flight, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway for a smooth and controlled landing. The distance covered during this turn was less than 1 nautical mile, and the time taken was 19 seconds.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10, descending from an altitude of 165 feet above ground level (agl) and heading 97.0 degrees. The landing was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 57 knots and a distance of 43 meters.

The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed, but the touchdown distance was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained calm, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight, a testament to the efficiency of the DA40-NG aircraft.

Landing report
Landing on runway 10 at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 97.94 %
Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 97.0° at an altitude of 165 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing smoothly on runway 10.

The runway length at LSZR Sankt Gallen Altenrhein Airport is 1,322 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the DA40-NG to touch down safely. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 60 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement.

The touchdown distance of 43 meters was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown rate of -103 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touching down on the runway without any harsh deceleration.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down. This is an important aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from veering off the runway or experiencing uneven wear on the landing gear.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots, which may have contributed to the smooth touchdown and good runway alignment. Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft demonstrated excellent handling and control during the landing, achieving a high score and showcasing the pilot's skill and expertise.
