The flight began with a departure roll from runway 35 at Tyabb Airport (YTYA), where the aircraft, a DA 40, took off with a takeoff distance of 347 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 234 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 35, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 40 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 28 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 77.5 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 73 seconds.

The base leg of the pattern was completed in 27 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the runway, was accomplished in 8 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The landing on runway 35 at YTYA was executed with a threshold height at 55 feet above ground level that was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 67 knots.

The touchdown distance was 338 meters, which was considered good, and the touchdown speed was 57 knots, also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm at -359 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 234 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 7 knots.

The total landing distance was 581 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 23.4 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 35 at YTYA Tyabb Airport in the DA 40

Landing Score 78.33 %

Landing Summary

The DA 40 aircraft successfully landed on runway 35 at Tyabb Airport (YTYA), achieving a score of 78.3%. The landing was conducted under favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C and wind speeds of 12 kt at 234°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the tailwind component was 7 kt.

The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 67 kt, which was within the target range. The touchdown distance of 338 m was also good, indicating a well-controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 57 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -359 fpm was firm, suggesting a controlled touchdown.

However, there were some areas for improvement. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.3 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the landing distance. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 23.4 m from the centreline, which may have been caused by a loss of directional control during the rollout phase.

Despite these minor issues, the overall landing performance of the DA 40 aircraft was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 581 m, which was 55% of the runway length. The aircraft's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase was evident, and with some adjustments to the approach and rollout phases, the pilot can aim to achieve a higher score in future landings.
