The flight in question involved the aircraft DG1001E, which began its enroute climb from the Bacchus Marsh Airport, located in the state of Victoria, Australia. The climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 855 feet above sea level to 607 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 248 feet in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it began its final approach to runway 09 from the west, heading at a direction of 95.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 92 feet above ground level and had covered a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 895 meters. The threshold height was reported to be good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 55 knots. However, the touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 38 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots blowing from a direction of 220 degrees. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the tailwind was 5 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the aircraft's misaligned touchdown and rollout.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 792 meters, which accounted for 88% of the runway length. Unfortunately, the runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned, deviating by 52.4 meters from the centerline. Despite these issues, the flight was completed with a total distance of 1 nautical mile, and the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

The aircraft, DG1001E, successfully landed at YBSS Bacchus Marsh Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The pilot achieved a final approach speed of 92 ft above ground level (agl) at 0 nm from the runway, heading 95.0°, which is a good starting point for the landing. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 55 kt, indicating that the pilot was well-prepared for the landing.
However, the touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been a bit too cautious or may have misjudged the landing distance. The touchdown speed of 38 kt was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -146 fpm, which is a desirable outcome. Nevertheless, the excessive length of the touchdown point may have put the aircraft at risk of running out of runway in the event of an emergency stop.
Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 49.1 m from the centreline, which could have made the landing more challenging and increased the risk of a runway excursion. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and winds of 11 kt at 220°, were not particularly challenging, but the crosswind of 10 kt and tailwind of 5 kt may have contributed to the misalignment.
The total landing distance of 792 m was 88% of the available runway, which is a relatively long distance. This, combined with the excessive length of the touchdown point and the misaligned runway touchdown position, suggests that the pilot may have been a bit too cautious or may have misjudged the landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 52.4 m from the centreline, which could have made the post-landing phase more challenging.
Overall, while the pilot achieved a smooth touchdown and a satisfactory touchdown speed, the landing was marred by several issues, including an excessively long touchdown point, a misaligned runway touchdown position, and a long landing distance. These issues may have been influenced by the local weather conditions and the pilot's decision-making during the landing.
