The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at 39N Princeton, a small airfield in New Jersey, United States. The aircraft, a DA-50, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 74 knots, covering a distance of 493 feet, which accounted for 16% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 174 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and no headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 596 feet above sea level to a height of 1,572 feet, an increase of 976 feet over a period of 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead the airfield, marking the beginning of the flight's journey.

The final approach to runway 24 at KTTN Trenton Mercer Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 226.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,403 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 174 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

The landing on runway 24 was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 64 knots and a rate of descent of -104 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 886 feet, which was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance, including the rollout, was 1,531 feet, accounting for 25% of the runway's length.

Landing on runway 24 at KTTN Trenton Mercer Airport in the DA-50

Landing Score 90.7 %

Landing Summary

The DA-50 aircraft successfully landed at KTTN Trenton Mercer Airport, achieving a score of 90.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,403 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 6,007 feet.

The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 74 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 886 feet, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 174°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.

The total landing distance was 1,531 feet, which is 25% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centreline. This may be a minor issue that can be addressed in future training or operations to ensure that the aircraft remains aligned with the runway centreline during rollout.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well in a variety of conditions. However, there are some minor areas for improvement, particularly with regards to maintaining alignment with the runway centreline during rollout.
