Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA42 Twin Star taxied to runway 27 at EGBJ Gloucestershire Airport and commenced its departure roll, covering 499 m (43 % of the runway) before lifting off at 83 kt. Ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 210°, including a 10 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.

The initial climb began overhead the airport, climbing from 786 ft asl to 7,023 ft asl, an altitude gain of 6,236 ft achieved in 5 minutes while traversing 11 nm.

A level cruise segment started 1 nm east of Winchcombe and lasted 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 13 nm at a steady altitude.

The next climb segment started overhead Shipston on Stour, rising from 6,606 ft asl to 7,179 ft asl, a gain of 573 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 3 nm.

A subsequent cruise leg began 1 nm north-east of Lower Brailes, lasting 3 minutes and covering 5 nm.

The following climb commenced 1 nm north-west of Lower Brailes, increasing altitude from 6,747 ft asl to 7,316 ft asl, a rise of 569 ft in 2 minutes while covering 2 nm.

A brief cruise then continued overhead Shipston on Stour for 2 minutes, covering 2 nm at constant altitude.

Descent began 1 nm north-west of Shipston on Stour, descending from 7,525 ft asl to 7,067 ft asl, a loss of 457 ft in 2 minutes across 3 nm.

The aircraft entered another level cruise segment over Halford, lasting 6 minutes and spanning 13 nm.

A further descent started 2 nm north-west of Hornton, dropping from 7,849 ft asl to 3,569 ft asl, a decrease of 4,280 ft in 5 minutes while covering 12 nm.

A long cruise phase followed over EGKV Preston Capes Airfield, lasting 26 minutes and covering 49 nm at a steady altitude.

The final descent commenced overhead Oakley, descending from 2,211 ft asl to 1,399 ft asl, a loss of 812 ft in 2 minutes over 2 nm.

The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 21 at EGTC Cranfield Airport from the north-east, aligned on a heading of 210.0° at 4 nm and 1,014 ft agl.

Landing on runway 21, which is 1,737 m long, the aircraft touched down after 367 m with a speed of 60 kt and a vertical rate of minus 176 fpm; the touchdown point was 3.3 m off centreline. The threshold speed was recorded at 85 kt, and the total landing roll measured 617 m (36 % of the runway). Weather at the time was 21 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 190°, a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 14 kt head-wind component. Runway rollout alignment was judged very good.

In total the flight covered 120 nm, required 64 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 30 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport was flown from the north-east on a heading of 221.0° at 2 NM and 739 ft AGL, with a temperature of 18 °C, wind from 310° at 4 kt, a 4 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.

The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 kt.

Touchdown occurred 341 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 kt that was good, a touchdown rate of -65 fpm that was excellent, and runway alignment that was perfect.

With a final score of 97.5 %, the primary refinement is to reduce the threshold speed to the target value and to aim for a touchdown point nearer the designated zone to keep the landing within the optimal envelope.
