Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at Queenstown International Airport, with the DA62 aircraft taking off in a relatively short distance of 589 feet, which accounted for 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 81 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 80 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Queenstown International Airport. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,882 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 2,191 feet, representing an increase of 310 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.

The final approach to runway 05 at Queenstown International Airport was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 60 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 2 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 965 feet above ground level. The approach was likely a visual one, given the good weather conditions and the aircraft's proximity to the runway.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 60 knots. The touchdown distance was 565 feet, which was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was a perfect 5 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 21 feet, indicating a minor deviation from the intended path.

Throughout the flight, the local weather conditions remained consistent, with a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 80 degrees. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a total flight distance of 5 nautical miles covered in just 4 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 4 pounds. Overall, the flight was a testament to the DA62's capabilities and the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft through challenging conditions.

Landing on runway 05 at NZQN Queenstown International Airport in the Diamond DA62
Landing Score 96.28 %
Landing Summary

The DA62 aircraft successfully landed at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN) with a score of 96.3%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 60.0° at 2 nautical miles and 965 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 5,812 feet.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 69 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 565 feet, and the touchdown speed of 60 knots was also within acceptable limits.

One of the key performance metrics was the touchdown rate, which was reported as perfect at 5 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the approach path or landing technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the DA62 aircraft demonstrated good handling and control during the landing, with a high score of 96.3% indicating a high level of proficiency.
