What went well

Touched down at -75 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 369 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.11 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Pattern Downwind — Heading 7.0 ° at 86 %, −0.22 points

Next time

Arrival

On downwind, use small aileron and rudder corrections to hold the wings-parallel heading against the runway.

What happened: On the downwind leg the heading drifted 7° off the runway-parallel track.

Watch for: Heading indicator: parallel to the runway on downwind.

See Pattern Downwind

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Flight narrative

The aircraft commenced its takeoff roll on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, using 414 m of runway (17 % of the available length) and achieving liftoff at 66 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

After departure, the flight entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering a distance of 1 nm in 19 seconds.

The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg was flown for less than 1 nm and required 22 seconds to complete.

The downwind segment of the pattern extended 2 nm and was completed in 89 seconds.

During the base turn, the aircraft covered 1 nm while turning to a 45-degree angle to the runway, measured at 18.8 °.

The final approach to runway 23 descended from 403 ft AGL to 68 ft AGL in 45 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.

Landing was executed on runway 23, whose total length is 2 490 m; the threshold height at 55 ft AGL was slightly above target, while the threshold speed was recorded at 73 kt. Touchdown occurred 368 m down the runway at 54 kt with a vertical speed of minus 293 fpm, and alignment was perfect. The total landing distance measured 541 m (22 % of the runway).

Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, bringing the aircraft to a stop within the remaining runway length.

In total, the flight covered 8 nm, lasted 6 minutes, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40 completed the final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, descending from 403 ft AGL to 68 ft AGL in 45 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

At threshold the aircraft crossed at 55 ft AGL, which was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed of 73 kt was recorded as good.

Touchdown occurred 368 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt, both judged good; the vertical rate was -293 fpm, assessed as fair, and runway-touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout used 541 m of runway, representing 22 % of the 2 490 m available, and runway-rollout alignment remained perfect.

To tighten performance, aim to achieve the exact threshold height target and refine the flare to reduce the touchdown vertical rate, which will further improve the already strong overall score of 94.7 %.
