The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 223.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 841 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. The threshold speed was also within acceptable limits at 68 knots. The touchdown distance of 194 meters was within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 55 knots, which is a good indication of a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown rate of -70 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, signifying a gentle and controlled impact with the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach and landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing. Overall, the DA40-XLS aircraft performed well during the landing, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control.
