Departure from Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB) commenced with a rollout on runway 18, utilizing 349 meters, or 28% of the available runway length. The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche accelerated to a liftoff speed of 67 knots, clearing the ground at a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from 240 degrees. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component contributed 7 knots to the overall airspeed.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 692 feet above sea level to 3,444 feet, a vertical gain of 2,752 feet in 5 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, positioning the aircraft for a level cruise phase. The cruise phase, initiated 2 miles north of Hirzenhain, lasted 4 minutes and spanned 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent towards Hoherodskopf Airfield (EDX1), aligning with runway 25 from the east at a heading of 239.0 degrees and 2 nautical miles from the threshold.
The final approach and landing phases were conducted in a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from 260 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, with a headwind component of 14 knots contributing to a reduced groundspeed. The threshold speed was higher than desired at 90 knots, while the touchdown speed of 75 knots was excessive. The touchdown rate was also hard at -423 feet per minute. The aircraft landed on runway 25, utilizing 92% of the available runway length, and rolled out with a slight misalignment from the centerline. The total landing distance was 771 meters, and the aircraft consumed 9 kilograms of fuel during the 14-minute flight, covering a total distance of 25 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 25 at EDX1 Hoherodskopf was initiated from the east, heading 239.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,316 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 90 knots, indicating a potential for a long rollout. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 75 knots, which was too fast, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -423 feet per minute.
The touchdown distance of 320 meters was good, but the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centreline. This misalignment was also evident during the rollout phase, where the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a headwind of 14 knots, contributed to the overall performance of the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 771 meters was 92% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled rollout. Despite some minor deviations from the centreline, the overall score for the landing was 77.5%. This score reflects the satisfactory approach quality, good touchdown distance, and controlled rollout, but also highlights areas for improvement, such as reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and maintaining better centreline alignment.
