Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Landing on runway 12 at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport Captain G Allan Hancock Field in the Diamond DA42 Twin Star
Landing Score 96.42 %
Landing Summary

The DA42 aircraft successfully landed at KSMX Santa Maria Public Airport, Captain G Allan Hancock Field, with a score of 96.4%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 133.0° at an altitude of 393 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,441 meters. 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 68 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly earlier than intended.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 129 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within the acceptable range at 64 knots. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a descent rate of -440 feet per minute (fpm). This may have been due to the aircraft's high rate of descent during the flare, which could have been caused by a number of factors, including the pilot's technique or the aircraft's configuration.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 3.7 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach or landing. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C, were not reported to have had any significant impact on the landing.

The total landing distance was 173 meters, which is only 7% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centreline of the runway after touchdown and was able to stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and stopping within a short distance.
