The DA42-TDI approached runway 30 at EGFF Cardiff International Airport from the south-east on a heading of 294.0 ° at 4 nm and 1 261 ft agl; the final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1 000 ft gate with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 74 kt; the flare produced a touchdown distance of 204 m, a touchdown speed of 60 kt and an excellent touchdown rate of minus 66 fpm.
Touchdown occurred with the runway touchdown point slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 414 m, representing 19 % of the 2 203 m runway.
The rollout alignment was very good, keeping the aircraft centred as it decelerated to a stop.
To tighten the centreline alignment, aim to keep the touchdown point within one metre of the centreline and verify the alignment through the rollout phase.
