Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

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 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 211 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 58 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile and involved an angle of 55.6 degrees relative to the runway. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nautical miles and took 74 seconds to complete.

The pilot then executed a base leg turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and involving an angle of 47.4 degrees relative to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 34 seconds. The final turn was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, flying at a heading of 230 degrees and an altitude of 284 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed on runway 23, which had a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed of 65 knots was slightly below the target. The touchdown distance was good at 393 meters, and the touchdown speed of 49 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was excellent at -88 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the north east, aligning with the runway 23 threshold at a heading of 230.0°. At 1 nautical mile from the runway and 284 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft was in a stable position, ready to initiate the landing sequence.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 393 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, showcasing the pilot's ability to smoothly and safely bring the aircraft to the ground.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's attention to detail and ability to maintain a stable approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smooth landing.

The only minor deviations from the target parameters were the threshold height, which was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed, which was slightly below the target at 65 knots. However, these deviations did not significantly impact the overall quality of the landing, and the pilot's performance was still considered excellent.

Overall, the DA40-XLS aircraft's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a success, with a score of 98.0%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled approach, and the aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable range.
