Departing from the Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire, England, the DA40-NG aircraft initiated its enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 439 feet above sea level to 1,321 feet asl. This climb phase was characterized by a rapid ascent of 882 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft's climb performance was impressive, demonstrating its ability to efficiently gain altitude in a short period.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 1,321 feet asl. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The cruise phase was likely used to establish a steady state and prepare for the final approach to runway 26 at Cotswold Airport. The aircraft's cruise performance was consistent with its climb performance, showcasing its ability to maintain a steady state over a moderate distance.
The final approach and landing phase was executed from the east, with the aircraft aligning with the runway heading of 260.0° at an altitude of 217 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed of 68 knots, and touchdown distance of 161 meters. The touchdown speed of 56 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of 9 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was consistent with the aircraft's approach path. The total landing distance of 316 meters was only 20% of the runway length, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 38°, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
