The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 554 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 81 knots, and the aircraft was able to lift off the ground quickly.

As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it followed a left-hand pattern entry from runway 18. The distance covered during this phase was less than 1 nautical mile in just 8 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 195 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, which was a 2-nautical-mile leg with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 85.5 degrees.

The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 70 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was a 3-nautical-mile leg with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 46.2 degrees. The base leg was 2 nautical miles long and took 59 seconds to complete. The final turn was a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile, completed in just 21 seconds.

The final approach to runway 18 was made from the north, with a heading of 174.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 348 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 176 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. However, the touchdown speed was slightly high at 67 knots, and the threshold speed was too high at 72 knots.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -86 feet per minute. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from 185 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 625 meters, and the total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with a good landing and a perfect runway rollout alignment.

Landing on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 99.45 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 174.0° at 1 nautical mile and 348 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal at 72 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 176 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 67 knots was somewhat fast, but the touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 185°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which likely contributed to the slightly higher threshold speed. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained excellent control throughout the landing, achieving a perfect runway touchdown alignment.

The total landing distance of 625 meters was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and landing.
