Touchdown 395 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 46 ft and 80 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Pattern Downwind Turn — Angle to runway (45 degrees) 75.1 ° at 0 %, −1.43 points
Departure Climb 2 — scored 90.00 %, −1.11 points
Arrival Touchdown — Landing Bounce at 80 %, −0.38 points

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 73 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 80 kt, 7 kt above the 73 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 73 kt at the threshold.

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

This flight began with the departure roll on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. A Diamond DA40-NG aircraft successfully took off, with a takeoff distance of 294 meters, which corresponds to 16% of the 1,814-meter runway length, and lifted off the ground at a speed of 68 knots (kts).

As the aircraft departed, it encountered a local temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 2 kts blowing at a heading of 269 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt, which posed a manageable condition for takeoff.

Following a smooth departure, the aircraft proceeded to enter a right-hand traffic pattern, with a rapid and precise entry from runway 23, accomplished in less than 1 nm in 42 seconds. As the pilot navigated the right-hand pattern, it demonstrated a good capacity to handle the existing crosswind of 1 kt by effectively covering the distance of less than 1 nm in 27 seconds.

The pattern progression continued without issue as the aircraft executed a downwind turn with an angle to runway (45 degrees) of 75.1 °, covering a distance of 1 nm. On the downwind leg, it maintained a steady pace, covering 2 nm in 65 seconds.

Further navigating the pattern, the pilot executed a base leg turn, changing direction to align the aircraft with the final approach, with an angle to runway of 51.3 ° over a distance of 1 nm. This was swiftly followed by a base leg, during which the aircraft remained steady, covering less than 1 nm in a mere 13 seconds.

Subsequent to the base leg, the aircraft entered its final approach, a sharp right-hand turn made in less than 1 nm in 42 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a landing on runway 23.

With the runway threshold in view from the north east at 0 nm and 181 feet (ft) above ground level, the aircraft executed a steady and controlled final approach. The landing itself unfolded smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a good distance of 393 meters from the threshold and a well-controlled speed of 57 kts.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated an excellent touchdown rate, achieving a descent of -98 ft per minute (fpm). Although the runway was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, the overall touchdown was handled effectively.

The flight utilized 6 nm of distance, completing the journey within 5 minutes. Notably, it consumed a relatively modest 1 kg of fuel throughout the trip, reflecting a high level of efficiency.

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport on runway 23 after approaching from the north east. The aircraft's position during the final approach to the runway was at 0nm and 181 feet above ground level (agl), heading in a direction of 229.0°.

As the aircraft made its landing, it scored an impressive 98.0% overall, demonstrating exceptional control and mastery of the flight. The pilot executed the landing at a runway length of 1,814 meters, which provided adequate space for a smooth touchdown.

A key aspect of the landing was the threshold height, which was described as 'good'. The threshold speed, however, was reported to be higher than the target of 75 kt, coming in at 80 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 393 meters was deemed 'good', indicating that the pilot effectively brought the aircraft under control before touching down on the runway.

The touchdown speed of 57 kt was also considered 'good', reflecting the pilot's careful management of the aircraft's speed and descent. The touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute (fpm) was 'excellent', showcasing the pilot's precision and control in bringing the aircraft to a stop.

One minor issue identified during the landing was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft coming down 3.8 meters off-centerline. Nevertheless, this did not appear to significantly impact the overall success of the landing.

In terms of weather conditions, the local temperature was 15°C, and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270° was reported, resulting in a minimal crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt. Overall, the landing was executed in a range of favorable weather conditions, further contributing to the high scoring.
