The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off after covering a distance of 294 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 56 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 24, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 36 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 29 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 43.6 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 109 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was another 2 nautical miles long, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 43.3 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was 1 nautical mile long and took 51 seconds to complete. The final turn was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 32 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24 from the north-east, flying at a heading of 237.0 degrees and an altitude of 109.3 meters above ground level.

The landing on runway 24 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 49 knots and a distance of 126 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 57 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -0.7 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 318 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight used 5 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the flight.
