The Diamond DA42 Twin Star approached runway 25R at KDAB from the north-east on a heading of 245.0° at 4 nm and 1,290 ft AGL. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
The aircraft crossed the threshold of runway 25R, whose length is 3,197 m, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above target at 80 kt.
Touchdown occurred 316 m down the runway, a distance described as good. Touchdown speed was 69 kt, a little fast, and the vertical rate was fair at minus 241 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 495 m, representing 15 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 16 °C with wind 12 kt from 270°, giving a 5 kt crosswind component and an 11 kt headwind component.
To tighten the already strong performance, reduce the threshold and touchdown speeds toward their targets to lessen the slight excess noted, and refine flare timing to achieve a gentler descent rate. Maintaining these adjustments will help keep the touchdown point near the 300 m aim point while preserving the high overall score.
