The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at LDPV Vrsar Crljenka Airfield, where the DA40-NG aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 193 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 57 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible headwind and a slight crosswind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 18, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 13 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg also showed a good turn, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind leg was completed in 63 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness.

The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading at 182.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 307 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing on runway 18 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 86 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 119 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

However, the touchdown speed was excessively fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -368 feet per minute. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 586 meters, accounting for 84% of the runway. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and took approximately 2 minutes to complete.

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LDPV Varsar Crljenka Airfield, achieving an overall score of 80.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 182.0° at 1 nm and 307 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 700 m.

The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was above the target at 88 kn. However, the touchdown speed of 86 kn was excessively fast, indicating that the pilot could have managed the descent more efficiently. The touchdown distance of 119 m was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -368 fpm was firm.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable approach and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 2 kn at 270°. The crosswind component was 2 kn, while the headwind component was 0 kn.

The total landing distance of 586 m was 84% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 m from the centerline. This minor deviation could be attributed to the pilot's efforts to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment. The pilot demonstrated good control and stability during the approach and touchdown phases, but could benefit from refining their landing technique to achieve a higher score.
