The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the aircraft, a PC21, took off with a takeoff distance of 482 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 131 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 180 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 14 knots and no crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,501 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,538 ft asl, an increase of 1,037 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The climb took place over the town of Florstadt in Hessen, Germany. Following the climb, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent from 2,530 ft asl to 1,240 ft asl, a decrease of 1,290 feet in 2 minutes, also covering 9 nautical miles. The descent occurred over the town of Bad Vilbel in Hessen, Germany.

The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 255.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 881 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters, was characterized by a threshold height that was above the target, and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 106 knots. The touchdown point was 240 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 90 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 171 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,143 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in the PC21

Landing Score 90.45 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as PC21, successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 255.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 881 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 90.5%.

The landing was conducted on a runway with a length of 2,795 meters. However, the threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 106 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been traveling at a higher speed than necessary.

The touchdown point was located 240 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 90 knots was considered good, but the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This indicates that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 11°C, a wind speed of 10 knots at 171°, and a crosswind of 10 knots. The headwind component was relatively weak at 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,143 meters, which is approximately 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulties during the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown rate.
