Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a DHC-6 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a starting altitude of 4,470 feet above sea level (asl) over the town of Oppenheim in the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz. The aircraft successfully climbed to an altitude of 4,602 ft asl, an increase of 132 feet, within a short period of 1 minute while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent over the town of Nackenheim, descending from an altitude of 4,642 ft asl to 2,072 ft asl. This descent resulted in a decrease of 2,570 feet in altitude over a period of 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 69.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,715 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 07R, which has a length of 3,984 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 72 knots.
The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 408 meters, and the touchdown speed of 61 knots was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute was only fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind was 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 685 meters, which accounted for only 17% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, the overall landing was considered successful. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 75 kilograms of fuel.

The DHC-6 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 92.8%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,715 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 72 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 408 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 61 knots was also satisfactory, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed effectively during the landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -222 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the approach. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's configuration, the pilot's technique, or the wind conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -29°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. These conditions were relatively favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to manage the aircraft effectively despite the cold temperatures.
The total landing distance of 685 meters was only 17% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and safely after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
Warning: Landed with a 6 kt tailwind
