Next time

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.

What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.

Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.

See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA40 taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated over a take-off distance of 525 m, representing 21 % of the runway, and lifted off at 71 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

During the climb the pilot entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The subsequent left-hand cross-wind leg also spanned less than 1 nm, taking 20 seconds. The downwind turn was 1 nm with a 92.1° angle to the runway, followed by a 2 nm downwind leg completed in 61 seconds, and a base-leg turn of 1 nm at an 18.2° angle to the runway.

The descent phase began at 337 ft AGL and continued to 38 ft AGL in 46 seconds, during which the aircraft met the stabilisation gates criteria.

On final approach to runway 23 the aircraft maintained the same weather parameters of 15 °C, 2 kt wind from 270°, 1 kt cross-wind and 2 kt head-wind. The approach was conducted on a left-hand pattern and positioned the aircraft for a stable landing configuration.

Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose length is 2 490 m. The threshold speed was 71 kt, while the aircraft touched down after 233 m at 56 kt with a vertical rate of minus 289 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 421 m, equivalent to 17 % of the runway.

Rollout proceeded with perfect alignment along the runway centreline, completing the landing phase without deviation.

In total the flight covered 7 nm, taking 6 and used 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40 completed the final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, descending from 337 ft AGL to 38 ft AGL in 46 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 71 kt.

Touchdown occurred 233 m down the runway at a good speed of 56 kt; the vertical rate was fair at minus 289 fpm and the touchdown alignment was perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 421 m, representing 17 % of the 2 490 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.

Further refinement of the flare to achieve a slightly lower descent rate would tighten the touchdown vertical profile while preserving the excellent alignment already demonstrated.
