The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the aircraft, a PC21, took off with a takeoff distance of 445 meters, which was 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 356 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 8 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Reichelsheim, Hessen, Germany, and ascended from an altitude of 1,464 feet above sea level to 2,893 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,429 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south west of Wolfersheim, Hessen, Germany, and lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 22 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 1 mile south east of Kriftel, Hessen, Germany, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,730 feet above sea level to 1,476 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,254 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading at 54.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,122 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 07L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 222 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -276 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 20 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,103 meters, which was 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 33 nautical miles, and the flight used 29 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 07L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in the PC21

Landing Score 94.15 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as PC21, successfully landed on runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 94.2%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 54.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,122 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on the designated runway.

The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,795 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, reaching 114 knots. This may indicate that the pilot was able to maintain a safe margin of speed during the approach, but could potentially be optimized for a smoother landing.

The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 222 meters, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed was reported as fast at 108 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm). This rate is considered fair, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent, but may have been able to achieve a smoother touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.6 meters, which may indicate a minor deviation from the intended landing path. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and wind speeds of 7 knots at 20°, were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.

The total landing distance was 1,103 meters, accounting for 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop.

Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment during the approach and landing phases.
