This flight was conducted in a DA42-VI aircraft, which began its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,068 feet above sea level (asl) over London Southend Airport in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England. The aircraft successfully climbed to an altitude of 2,990 ft asl, an increase of 1,922 ft in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started over the town of Hadleigh in Essex. This phase lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from an altitude of 2,664 ft asl over Canewdon, Essex, and successfully descended to 1,988 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started over Southminster, Essex, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at London Southend Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading at 234.0° and at an altitude of 1,246 ft agl, 4 nautical miles from the runway.

However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around from an altitude of 139 ft agl. Following the go-around, the aircraft successfully landed on runway 23, which has a length of 1,608 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 75 kt. The touchdown distance was good at 173 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 66 kt. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -222 fpm.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 11 kt at 230°. The crosswind was 1 kt, and the headwind was 11 kt. The total landing distance was 315 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 26 kg of fuel during the flight.

Takeoff on runway at in the DA42-VI

Landing on runway 23 at EGMC London Southend Airport in the DA42-VI

Landing Score 97.21 %

Landing Summary

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGMC London Southend Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 234.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 23, which has a length of 1,608 meters.

Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 75 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing. The touchdown distance of 173 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 66 knots was also within acceptable limits.

Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. A lower touchdown rate would have indicated a more controlled descent and a smoother landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's course during the final approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which would have helped to slow the aircraft down during the final approach. The total landing distance of 315 meters was only 20% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

The runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll and that the pilot was able to maintain a straight course. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling during the final approach and landing phases.
