Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA42-TDI, then departed from runway 15L at the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport (KSBA) in Santa Barbara, California. The takeoff distance was 513 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 77 knots.

During the initial climb, the aircraft reached a height of 5,685 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 442 feet asl, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles in 6 minutes. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 260°. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and descents, with the aircraft reaching various altitudes and covering significant distances. Notably, the climb from 3,074 feet asl to 4,073 feet asl in 2 minutes covered 3 nautical miles, while the descent from 5,502 feet asl to 3,022 feet asl in 5 minutes covered 13 nautical miles. The aircraft also entered several level cruise phases, with the longest lasting 14 minutes and covering 37 nautical miles.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft encountered various weather conditions, including temperature fluctuations and wind changes. The local weather conditions at the final approach to runway 09 at the Mountain Valley Airport (L94) were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 310°.

The final approach to runway 09 was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 93.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,183 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with the touchdown distance being 385 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 67 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -525 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The total landing distance was 685 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The total flight distance was 125 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 56 minutes. The aircraft used 36 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 09 at L94 Mountain Valley in the Diamond DA42 Twin Star
Landing Score 81.76 %
Landing Summary

The DA42-TDI aircraft successfully landed at L94 Mountain Valley, achieving an overall score of 81.8%. The final approach to runway 09 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 93.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,183 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 67 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 385 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was quite high at -525 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly hard landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly high touchdown rate.

The total landing distance of 685 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
