Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, a small airfield in Hessen, Germany. The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche took off with a takeoff distance of 279 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots, and the aircraft climbed into the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind of 10 knots at 302 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Reichelsheim, where the aircraft ascended from 913 feet above sea level to 2,034 feet, an increase of 1,122 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities.
After reaching the desired altitude, the enroute level cruise began 1 mile west of EXGB Florstadt Airport. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. This period of steady flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Frankfurt am Main, the enroute descent started. The aircraft descended from 2,814 feet above sea level to 1,698 feet, a decrease of 1,116 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This controlled descent was a crucial part of the flight, as it allowed the pilot to position the aircraft for the final approach.
The final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, heading 251.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,346 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway with a touchdown distance of 95 meters, which was good considering the runway length of 3,984 meters. The touchdown speed was 54 knots, which was also within acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown rate was fair at -205 feet per minute, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly harder than desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind of 12 knots at 299 degrees, with a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 319 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centreline. Despite these minor issues, the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a safe stop.
The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient performance. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the journey.

Flaps Fully Retracted at 15:29:22 |
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25L. The aircraft's final approach was from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,346 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot achieved a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 60 knots, but still within an acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 95 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a smooth landing. However, the touchdown speed of 54 knots was slightly lower than expected, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -205 feet per minute (fpm). A fair touchdown rate suggests that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than intended.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 10.8 meters. This may have been due to the pilot's judgment of the runway centerline or the aircraft's alignment during the approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 299°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions may have affected the pilot's ability to maintain a precise alignment during the approach and landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a total landing distance of 319 meters, which is only 8% of the runway length. However, the pilot may need to work on improving their alignment and touchdown rate to achieve a more precise and controlled landing.
