The flight in question was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from 2,506 feet above sea level (asl) over Luzern, Kanton Luzern, Switzerland. The climb was brief, lasting only 1 minute, and covered less than 1 nautical mile (nm). Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting over Luzern, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.

The flight then resumed climbing from 2,506 ft asl to 6,210 ft asl, an increase of 3,704 feet in 6 minutes, covering 7 nm. This climb phase was followed by another level cruise, this time starting 1 mile north of Vitznau, Kanton Luzern, Switzerland, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 3 nm.

As the flight progressed, it entered a descent phase from 6,206 ft asl to 2,015 ft asl, a decrease of 4,190 feet in 3 minutes, covering 5 nm. The descent started 1 mile north of Beckenried, Kanton Nidwalden, Switzerland. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting overhead Seelisberg, Kanton Uri, Switzerland, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 3 nm.

The flight then resumed climbing from 1,935 ft asl to 6,204 ft asl, an increase of 4,268 feet in 9 minutes, covering 13 nm. This climb phase started overhead Flueelen, Kanton Uri, Switzerland. Subsequently, the aircraft entered a descent phase from 6,207 ft asl to 3,250 ft asl, a decrease of 2,957 feet in 5 minutes, covering 6 nm. The descent started overhead Unterageri, Kanton Zug, Switzerland.

The final approach to runway 27 at LSZN Hausen am Albis Airfield was conducted from the east, heading 268.0° at 2 nm and 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). However, a go-around was initiated at 784 ft agl. The aircraft eventually landed on runway 27, which had a length of 503 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 87 knots.

The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was also too fast at 80 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, wind of 2 kt at 270°, with a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.

The total landing distance was 495 meters, which accounted for 98% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 39 nm, and the flight used 12 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 27 at LSZN Hausen am Albis Airfield in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 80.12 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at LSZN Hausen am Albis Airfield, but there were some areas for improvement. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 268.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 27, which has a length of 503 meters.

The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 87 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, which suggests that the pilot may have been able to extend the flare to touch down closer to the threshold.

The touchdown speed of 80 knots was also too fast, which can increase the risk of a bounced landing or a longer rollout. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the landing.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the wind drift. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 495 meters, which is 98% of the available runway. This is a relatively long landing distance, but the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement that the pilot can work on to refine their landing technique.
