Landing Summary

The aircraft in question successfully landed on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, but with some notable deviations from ideal performance. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 357.0° at 1 nautical mile and 313 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 106 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.

The touchdown speed of 82 knots was within acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -68 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, suggesting a smooth and stable landing. The threshold speed was above the target, which may have contributed to the slightly long touchdown point.

One of the notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 19.0 meters off the centerline. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly off course during the final approach or that the pilot may have made a correction too late. The runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned, by 41.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial misalignment or a failure to correct it during the rollout.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively cold, with a temperature of 4°C. This may have affected the aircraft's performance, but it is unlikely to have been a major factor in the deviations from ideal performance.

Overall, while the landing was successful, it highlights the importance of precise control and alignment during the final approach and rollout phases of flight. The pilot will need to review and refine their technique to improve the accuracy of the touchdown and rollout.
