Top opportunity

Avoid steep turns at low altitude

Departure Climb 3

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at KPSP Palm Springs International Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 31R was executed from the southeast, heading 324.0° at 1 nautical mile and 340 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed of 67 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,051 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -19 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, signifying a gentle and stable touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 339°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway length of 4,958 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 2,113 feet, which accounted for only 43% of the runway.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and it highlights the DA42-VI's capabilities as a reliable and versatile aircraft.
