Side view — the last 447 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 132 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDMI Illertissen Airfield, the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 25, utilizing 583 meters, or 90% of the available runway length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 72 knots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a headwind of 11 knots, contributed to a smooth and efficient departure. As the aircraft lifted off, it transitioned into a steady climb, reaching an altitude of 3,930 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began overhead Dietenheim, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. During this 8-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 3,926 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a descent, initiated overhead Allmannsweiler, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The aircraft descended from 3,926 feet to 2,568 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30 at EDTU Bad Saulgau Airfield was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 309.0° at 2 nautical miles and 650 feet above ground level.
The landing phase was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on runway 30 at a speed of 59 knots and a touchdown distance of 130 meters, or 78% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was also within acceptable limits, at -180 feet per minute. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 38 kilograms, and the entire flight was completed in 14 minutes.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 30 at EDTU Bad Saulgau Airfield, with a threshold height that met expectations. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 309.0° at 2 nautical miles and 650 feet above ground level. The threshold speed of 64 knots was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown characteristics were good, with a speed of 59 knots and a rate of descent of -180 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 130 meters was also satisfactory, and the aircraft remained perfectly aligned with the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind of 11 knots at 255°, presented a moderate headwind component of 7 knots and a crosswind component of 9 knots.
