Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

Departing from Inverness Airport (EGPE), the DA40-NG aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 69 kt in a distance of 427 m, which accounted for 24% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, base leg turn, and final turn were executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent angle to the runway and adhering to the standard traffic pattern configuration. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 229.0° at an altitude of 190 ft above ground level.

The landing itself was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 60 kt and a rate of -156 fpm. The touchdown distance of 197 m was also within acceptable limits, accounting for 27% of the available runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect runway rollout alignment, bringing the total landing distance to 481 m. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 6 nm and consuming 1 kg of fuel, with the entire operation taking approximately 4 minutes to complete.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 229.0° and an altitude of 190 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the threshold. The threshold speed was good at 70 knots, indicating a well-executed approach.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a speed of 60 knots and a rate of descent of -156 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 197 meters was also good, indicating a well-controlled approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it decelerated. The total landing distance of 481 meters, which accounted for only 27% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.0% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
