Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, a type of single-engine, four-seat plane. The pre-flight taxiing process took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile from the parking area to the runway. The aircraft departed from runway 24 at OMDU Dubai Skydive, a skydiving center located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
During takeoff, the aircraft achieved a liftoff speed of 70 knots, and the takeoff distance was 335 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 2 knots, which was beneficial for the takeoff.
After departing from OMDU Dubai Skydive, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. This phase of the flight started approximately 1 mile southwest of the skydiving center.
As the aircraft approached its destination, OMDB Dubai International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 12L from the northwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 264 feet above ground level (agl) and was heading towards the runway at a bearing of 122.0 degrees. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
The landing was executed successfully, with a touchdown speed of 50 knots and a touchdown distance of 105 meters. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal at -251 feet per minute (fpm). Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline.
Overall, the flight was completed in 16 minutes, covering a total distance of 24 nautical miles and consuming 4 kilograms of fuel. The flight was executed safely and efficiently, with a good balance between speed and control.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed on runway 12L at Dubai International Airport (OMDB) with a score of 89.5%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 122.0° at 1 nautical mile and 264 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed of 52 knots was well below the target speed, indicating that the pilot was cautious to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 105 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 50 knots was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.
One notable issue during the landing was the misaligned runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 8.6 meters. This could have been due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, and a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 296 meters was only 8% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
