The flight began with an enroute climb from 4,012 ft above sea level (asl) to 3,009 ft asl, an increase of 1,003 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles (nm). This climb phase started 4 miles east of Tillingham in Essex, England.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, which began 2 miles east of Southminster in Essex, England. This cruise phase lasted for 13 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 8 nm. The aircraft then started its enroute descent from an altitude of 3,105 ft asl to 2,020 ft asl, a decrease of 1,085 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. The descent phase began overhead Rochford in Essex, England.
After the descent, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started overhead Burnham-on-Crouch in Essex, England. This cruise phase lasted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nm.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGMC London Southend Airport began from the north-east, with a heading of 233.0° at a distance of 4 nm and an altitude of 1,253 ft above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 64 kt, which was good. However, the touchdown point was 213 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 15.0 m from the centreline.
The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 19 kt at 299°, with a crosswind of 18 kt and a headwind of 8 kt. The total landing distance was 792 m, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.8 m from the centreline.
The total flight distance was 21 nm, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used 13 kg of fuel during the flight.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGMC London Southend Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 233.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,608 meters.
However, there were some issues with the landing. The threshold height at 71 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 97 knots, which could have put the aircraft at risk of overshooting the runway. Fortunately, the touchdown speed of 64 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -79 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Despite the good touchdown speed and rate, the landing was not without its issues. The touchdown point was 213 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 15.0 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 19 knots at 299°, also played a role in the landing. The crosswind was 18 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 792 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.8 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more difficult to control. Overall, while the DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGMC London Southend Airport, there are areas for improvement in terms of approach and landing technique.
