The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EDXH Helgoland-Düne Airport, achieving a high score of 93.7%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, aligning with the runway 06 heading of 56.0° at an altitude of 92 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, resulting in a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The threshold height was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 76 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to manage the speed accordingly.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 74 knots was excessively fast, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -351 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of energy. This may have been due to the excessive touchdown speed, which could have been mitigated by a more gradual descent or a reduction in airspeed.
The local weather conditions were favorable for landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 60°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal, making it easier for the pilot to control the aircraft during the approach.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control. However, there is room for improvement in terms of managing the touchdown speed and touchdown rate to achieve a smoother and more controlled landing.
