Arrival Final 2

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Bembridge Airport, EGHJ. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 157 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 73 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft continued to climb, reaching an altitude of 888 feet above sea level, an increase of 373 feet from the initial altitude of 514 feet. This climb was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The enroute climb phase concluded as the aircraft flew overhead Brading on the Isle of Wight, England. From this point, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 22 at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport. The approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 223.0 degrees at an altitude of 841 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

The landing phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 55 knots. The touchdown distance was 194 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was an impressive -70 feet per minute, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.6 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 3 nautical miles, which was covered in 2 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with good control and minimal deviations from the planned flight path.

Landing report
Landing on runway 22 at EGHN Isle of Wight / Sandown Airport in the Diamond DA40
Landing Score 93.01 %
Landing Summary

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.
