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 take-off roll. The aircraft used 390 m of runway, representing 16 % of the available length, and became airborne at a liftoff speed of 65 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

During the left-hand pattern entry the aircraft covered less than 1 nm in 16 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind segment of less than 1 nm completed in 25 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with a 148.8° angle to the runway, after which the downwind leg, also less than 1 nm, was flown in 43 seconds. The base-leg turn covered another 1 nm and presented a 15.4° angle to the runway, positioning the aircraft for final approach.

On final approach the aircraft descended from 344 ft AGL to 49 ft AGL in 41 seconds, meeting the required stabilisation gates throughout the descent.

The landing was executed on runway 23, whose total length is 2 490 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 75 kt, and touchdown occurred 347 m down the runway at a speed of 53 kt. The aircraft’s vertical speed at touchdown was a smooth minus 134 fpm and the alignment was noted as perfect. Weather at the time remained 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

Rollout distance measured 523 m, equivalent to 21 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout phase.

In total the flight covered 4 nm, required approximately 3 minutes of flight time, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40 approached runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde with a score of 93.9 % and descended from 344 ft agl to 49 ft agl in 41 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 75 kt.

Touchdown occurred 347 m down the runway at a good speed of 53 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of -134 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 523 m, representing 21 % of the 2 490 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

Continue the current technique while fine-tuning the descent profile to preserve the smooth vertical rate and keep touchdown speed consistently at 53 kt.
