The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, successfully took off after covering 281 meters, which was 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius.

As the aircraft climbed out of Reichelsheim, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,050 feet above sea level from an initial height of 911 feet. This climb of 2,139 feet was achieved in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started over Nidda, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.

The enroute descent phase began 2 miles southwest of Schotten, where the aircraft descended from 3,501 feet to 2,221 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,280 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 79.0 degrees at an altitude of 56 feet above ground level, just 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The touchdown was made before the threshold, with a speed of 52 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy, at -964 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots from 131 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 206 meters, which was 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, which was covered in 11 minutes, and the aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 07 at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 88.27 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield, achieving a score of 88.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 79.0° at an altitude of 56 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot executed a precise final approach, resulting in a touchdown before the threshold of the runway.

The touchdown speed of 52 knots was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, with a rate of -964 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot may have applied a bit too much braking or reverse thrust, resulting in a more abrupt stop.

Despite the heavy touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 131°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.

The total landing distance of 206 meters was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled approach, resulting in a quick and efficient stop. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases. However, the heavy touchdown rate may indicate a need for further training or practice to improve the pilot's braking and reverse thrust techniques.
