Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a DA42-VI, then departed from runway 08 at KCMA Camarillo International Airport. The takeoff distance was 633 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 150 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. After departing from Camarillo, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of the airport and climbing from an altitude of 1,092 feet above sea level to 5,580 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, took 3 minutes and resulted in an increase of 4,488 feet in altitude.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Casa Conejo, California. This phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Huntington Beach, California. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, resulting in a decrease of 4,665 feet in altitude from 5,508 feet above sea level to 843 feet above sea level.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 02L at KSNA John Wayne Orange County International Airport. The approach was made from the southwest, heading 32.0 degrees at an altitude of 772 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 02L, which had a length of 1,737 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 79 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 243 meters, and the touchdown speed was 64 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was -178 feet per minute, which was good as well. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 360 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 75 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used 25 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

This approach angle and distance allowed the aircraft to make a precise touchdown on the runway.

The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold.

The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was within the safe limits, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and did not experience any significant deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 360°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward.
