The flight began with an enroute climb from Worlington in Suffolk, England, where the aircraft, a DA42-VI, took off and started ascending to a higher altitude. The climb was notable for its steepness, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 529 feet in just 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to reach an altitude of 2,052 feet above sea level.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north-east of Isleham in Cambridgeshire, England. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This period of steady flight allowed the pilot to conserve fuel and prepare for the final approach to the destination airport.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGSC Cambridge City Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 230.0°. At a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level. The pilot successfully executed the final approach, touching down on the runway at a speed of 71 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 88 knots.
The landing was characterized by a smooth touchdown rate of -103 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 240°, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 629 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 15 kilograms of fuel.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGSC Cambridge City Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,146 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 23, which has a length of 1,607 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 88 knots. The touchdown point was located 51 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overcorrection by the pilot. The touchdown speed of 71 knots was also a bit faster than recommended, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -103 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance was 629 meters, which accounts for 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot achieving a high score despite a few minor deviations from ideal touchdown conditions. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were well-coordinated, resulting in a safe and efficient landing at EGSC Cambridge City Airport.
