Departure
Arrival
The flight began with an enroute climb from Frankfurt Airport, located in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, took off from an elevation of 367 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,938 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which started overhead Kelsterbach, another location in Hessen, Germany. During this 9-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. This cruise phase allowed the pilot to conserve fuel and prepare for the final approach to the destination airfield.
The final approach to runway 36 at Reichelsheim Airfield, located near Frankfurt, was initiated from the south. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,193 feet above ground level and was 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The pilot maintained a heading of 355.0 degrees, aligning the aircraft with the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 58 knots, which was a good indication of the pilot's skill and control.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 46 knots, and the touchdown distance was 185 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -149 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from 300 degrees, presented a moderate crosswind component of 9 knots and a headwind component of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 399 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.5 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was considered successful, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft consumed 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which was a relatively efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight demonstrated the capabilities of the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche and the pilot's skill in executing a safe and controlled landing.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 93.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 355.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,193 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, resulting in a good threshold height and a touchdown speed that was slightly below the target at 58 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 185 meters, with a speed of 46 knots. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -149 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 399 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a minor issue with the pilot's ability to maintain alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing a safe and controlled touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining alignment during the rollout phase.
