The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the aircraft, a Vertigo 28 Apex, took off with a takeoff distance of 307 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from 244 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead EXGB Florstadt Airport, located in Florstadt, Hessen, Germany. The climb was steep, with an increase in altitude from 1,226 feet above sea level to 2,436 feet above sea level, a total increase of 1,210 feet, in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase was initiated overhead Glauburg, also located in Hessen, Germany.

As the aircraft began its enroute descent, it started from a point 1 mile northwest of Ranstadt, Hessen, Germany. The descent was steep, with a decrease in altitude from 2,207 feet above sea level to 618 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 1,589 feet, in 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was initiated from the north, with a heading of 182.0 degrees at an altitude of 208 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on the runway, which has a length of 1,230 meters. The threshold speed was 77 knots, and the touchdown speed was 73 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 79 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth, at -102 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 6.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from 242 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 518 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with a total flight distance of 15 nautical miles, which was covered in 6 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Vertigo - 28 Apex

Landing Score 93.71 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Vertigo - 28 Apex, successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a high score of 93.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 182.0° at an altitude of 208 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, aligning itself with the runway for a smooth touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when it crossed the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 77 knots was also maintained, demonstrating the pilot's control and precision during the landing.

The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 79 meters. The touchdown speed of 73 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the safe range. The touchdown rate of -102 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without any harsh deceleration.

However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation may have been due to the crosswind, which was blowing at 6 knots from the left. Despite this, the pilot was able to maintain control and align the aircraft during the rollout.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 242°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment during touchdown.

The total landing distance was 518 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown with precision. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and align the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and the pilot maintaining control throughout the rollout. The minor deviation from the centerline was the only notable issue, but it did not affect the overall outcome of the landing.
