This flight was conducted in a DA40-XLS aircraft, a single-engine, four-seat plane. The pre-flight taxiing process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile (nm) from the parking area to the runway. The aircraft departed from runway 08 at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome, a small airfield located in Dorset, England.
The takeoff was successful, with a takeoff distance of 184 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 53 knots (kn), indicating a smooth and controlled departure. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 kn from a direction of 347 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 kn and a headwind of 0 kn.
After departing the airfield, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome Shaftesbury. The climb was from an altitude of 377 meters above sea level (asl) to 520 m asl, an increase of 142.8 meters in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. This rapid climb was a testament to the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm. This phase was initiated 1 mile north-east of the airfield, indicating a smooth and stable flight path.
As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 08 at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome. The approach was made from the west, with a heading of 73.0 degrees at an altitude of 77.6 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 kn from a direction of 348 degrees.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 189 meters and a touchdown speed of 48 kn. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -0.6 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The threshold speed was a little below the target speed, but still within acceptable limits.
In conclusion, this flight was a testament to the DA40-XLS aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill. The flight covered a total distance of 5 nm, took 12 minutes to complete, and used 6 kg of fuel. The landing was smooth and controlled, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment.

Stall Warning Deactivated at 19:44:49 |
The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 73.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 77.6 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 08.
The runway at EGHA Compton Abbas Aerodrome has a length of 796 meters, providing a suitable surface for the DA40-XLS to touch down. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 61 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement.
The touchdown distance of 189 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -0.6 meters per second was smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important aspect of safe landing, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting off the runway or experiencing uneven wear on the landing gear.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 348°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 9 knots, but no headwind component. The pilots were able to effectively manage the crosswind and maintain control of the aircraft during the landing. Overall, the landing was a success, and the DA40-XLS demonstrated its capabilities as a safe and reliable aircraft.
