The flight in question was conducted in a PA44 Seminole aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from 1,500 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,972 ft asl. This climb phase was notable for its rapid ascent, with an increase of 1,472 ft in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, during which it flew overhead Koerich, a location within Capellen, Luxembourg. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The cruise phase was a stable and efficient segment of the flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain its cruising altitude.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. The approach was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 61.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was flying at an altitude of 1,223 feet above ground level (agl) at this point.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 06, which has a length of 3,989 meters. The threshold height at 71 ft agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient clearance to safely land. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 84 kt, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the approach.
The touchdown point was located 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft had overshot the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 72 kt was also slightly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of 33 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft had a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly off course during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the flight included a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 14 kt at 19°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 11 kt.
In conclusion, the flight was a complex and dynamic operation that required precise control and navigation. The aircraft performed well during the climb and cruise phases, but experienced some issues during the final approach and landing. Despite these challenges, the aircraft was able to safely land on the runway, albeit with some minor deviations from the intended touchdown point and speed. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight used 8 kg of fuel.

The PA44 Seminole aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.5%. The final approach to runway 06 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 61.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,223 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 130 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which indicates a slight deviation from the intended touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly above the target speed, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed during the approach. However, the touchdown rate of 33 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 19°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilot's ability to maintain a perfect touchdown rate despite the slight deviations in touchdown speed and position is a testament to their skill and experience. However, there is still room for improvement to achieve a higher score and optimize the landing performance.
