Arrival
This flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, which took off from a location near EGRT Bute Airfield in Rothesay, North Ayrshire, Scotland. The enroute climb began from an altitude of 84 feet above sea level (asl) and reached 1,065 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This initial climb was followed by another enroute climb, which started at 1,069 ft asl and reached 215 ft asl in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it began its final approach to runway 09 at EGRT Bute Airfield from the south-west, heading at 71.0 degrees at an altitude of 163 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was conducted with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 75 knots. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway length.
The touchdown speed of 69 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of 64 feet per minute was perfect. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned, being 1,574.6 meters off the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots from 271 degrees, and a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 594 meters, which was 108% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight used 1 kilogram of fuel.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGRT Bute Airfield, but the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot achieved a final approach from the south-west, heading 71.0° at 0 nm and 163 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 550 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 kt. This may indicate that the pilot could have managed the aircraft's descent more efficiently. The touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 50% of the available runway, which could have been a result of the pilot's approach speed or the aircraft's performance.
The touchdown speed of 69 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point. However, the touchdown rate of 64 fpm was perfect, indicating that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent effectively. The runway touchdown position was also a concern, as it was excessively misaligned by 1,574.6 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 kt at 271°. The crosswind was negligible, but the tailwind was 5 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. The total landing distance was 594 meters, which is 108% of the runway length.
Despite the challenges, the pilot demonstrated good control during the rollout, with the aircraft aligning very well with the runway centreline. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of approach speed, touchdown point, and runway alignment.
