The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA40-NG, then departed from runway 31L at OMAA Zayed International Airport. The takeoff distance was 445 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 84 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 31L, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 671 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was 1 nautical mile in 46 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it performed a downwind turn with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and an angle of 1.6 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles in 49 seconds. The final approach to runway 13R was made from the north-west, with a heading of 131.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,186 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 13R was successful, with a touchdown point 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 59 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -172 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff.

The total landing distance was 860 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.3 meters. The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 13R at OMAA Zayed International Airport in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 83.2 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed on runway 13R at OMAA Zayed International Airport, achieving a score of 83.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 131.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,186 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's approach to the runway was generally good, with a threshold speed of 68 knots, which met the target. However, the threshold height at 80 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's descent. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 59 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.

The touchdown point was located 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slight deviation in the touchdown point. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind.

The total landing distance of 860 meters was 21% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite some minor deviations in the approach and rollout phases. The pilot's skills and experience were likely a contributing factor to the successful landing, and the aircraft's design and performance also played a significant role in achieving a score of 83.2%.
