The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Hoherodskopf Airfield, where the aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, took off after covering 390 meters, which is 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 303 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
After taking off, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. This phase of the flight began overhead the Hoherodskopf Schotten airfield in Hessen, Germany. Following the cruise, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 36 at Reichelsheim Airfield, which is located to the south. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 765 feet above ground level and was 1 nautical mile away from the runway.
The landing on runway 36 at Reichelsheim Airfield was notable for a few factors. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 74 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering 248 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 65 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -224 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 349 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 659 meters, which is 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 19 nautical miles and lasted for 12 minutes, using 5 kilograms of fuel.

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 3.0° at 1 nautical mile and 765 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 36, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
Upon landing, the pilot achieved a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was too high at 74 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 248 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the runway length.
However, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was slightly faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to control the descent more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 349°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 659 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of controlling the descent and touchdown speed. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot can achieve an even smoother and more controlled landing.
