The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA62, then departed from runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The takeoff distance was 969 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 109 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Harmondsworth, Greater London, England, and ascended from an altitude of 508 feet above sea level to 2,629 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,121 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Hayes, Greater London, England, and lasted for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb phase, this time from an altitude of 1,743 feet above sea level to 4,618 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,875 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started again, this time overhead London City Airport (EGLC), and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The enroute descent phase began 1 mile northwest of Chislehurst, Greater London, England, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,978 feet above sea level to 792 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,186 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 275.0°, at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 773 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport was successful, with a runway length of 1,334 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 82 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 331 meters, but the touchdown speed of 72 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -191 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. There was no crosswind, but a headwind of 1 knot was present. The total landing distance was 549 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway length.

Landing on runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport in the DA62

Landing Score 86.44 %

Landing Summary

The DA62 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.4%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 275.0° at 1 nautical mile and 773 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control during the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was satisfactory at 82 knots, and the touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 331 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly higher than the desired speed, indicating a potential area for improvement. The touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.

Despite the successful touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline. This deviation may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, and a crosswind of 0 knots. The headwind of 1 knot was minimal and unlikely to have significantly impacted the landing.

The total landing distance of 549 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 42.8 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. This misalignment may have been due to factors such as pilot error or a loss of control during the rollout.

Overall, the DA62 aircraft demonstrated good control and stability during the landing, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment.
