The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA42-VI, then departed from runway 31R at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,586 feet, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Palm Springs, California, and ascended from an altitude of 1,493 feet above sea level to 3,050 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,557 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight started when the aircraft reached an altitude of 3,050 feet above sea level and flew overhead KPSP Palm Springs International Airport. This phase of the flight lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, KNJK El Centro NAF Airport (Vraciu Field), it began its final approach to runway 12 from the northwest, heading 137.0° at an altitude of 1,495 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 240°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,313 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 60 knots, and the touchdown rate was -169 feet per minute, both of which were considered good.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at KNJK El Centro NAF Airport (Vraciu Field) on runway 12. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,495 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a good approach, with a threshold speed of 70 knots, which is within the target range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown speed of 60 knots and a touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm), both of which are considered good. The touchdown distance of 1,313 feet was also within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centreline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 2,248 feet was 33% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length of 6,793 feet. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight misalignment of the touchdown position may require some attention to improve the landing technique.
