A DR400 airplane departed from runway 25 at Hoherodskopf Airfield (EDUR). It took off after a roll distance of 125 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 68 knots. At the time, the local weather conditions included a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots at 236 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.

The aircraft's enroute climb began approximately 1 mile west of the EDX1 reference point, near Hoherodskopf-Schotten. It climbed from an altitude of 2,660 feet to 2,849 feet over a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, with an increase of 189 feet in just 1 minute.

The first enroute level cruise phase started 1 mile east of Schotten and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Subsequent descent phase began 2 miles south of Schotten, where the aircraft descended from 3,325 feet to 2,845 feet over 2 nautical miles and a duration of 2 minutes.

A second level cruise phase began 2 miles northeast of Nidda, lasting 6 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. Another descent phase started 1 mile north of Altenstadt, where the aircraft descended from 1,553 feet to 766 feet over 2 nautical miles and a duration of 2 minutes.

As the aircraft approached the Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB), it made its final approach to runway 36 from the south, flying at a heading of 359 degrees and 1 nautical mile from the runway, at a height of 360 feet above ground level (agl). It landed on the runway and touched down at 76 knots, which was excessively high.

The total landing distance was 826 meters, accounting for 67% of the runway's length. Although the touchdown speed of 62 knots was high, the touchdown rate of -45 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, and the runway touchdown alignment was accurate. However, during the rollout phase, the airplane veered off the centerline and landed 18.4 meters off the runway's centerline. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 14 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4 kilograms.

Landing Summary

Pilot Report: LANDING OF AIRCRAFT DR400 AT EDFB REICHELSHEIM AIRFIELD

The pilot's performance during the final approach and landing of the DR400 aircraft at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield has been evaluated with a score of 87.8%. The touchdown on runway 36, which is approximately 1,230 meters long, was successful, with a good threshold height and suitable wind conditions for the landing. The runway heading was 359.0 °, with the aircraft approaching from the south and passing 1 nm from the point of landing at a height of 360 feet above ground level (agl).

Throughout the landing phase, the pilot maintained control of the aircraft, ensuring a smooth touchdown. However, several areas for improvement have been identified. Firstly, the threshold speed was excessively high at 76 knots, exceeding the recommended speed for this phase of the flight. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance was satisfactory, with the aircraft coming to rest at a distance of 411 meters.

Upon closer inspection, the touchdown speed was a notable 62 knots, which is fast for this type of aircraft. Moreover, the touchdown rate was -45 feet per minute, demonstrating a well-controlled descent but potentially increasing the risk of overshooting the desired landing spot.

Upon examining the performance data, it is evident that the runway touchdown alignment was excellent, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the center of the runway. The local weather conditions also favored the landing, with a moderate temperature of 19°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots. However, there was a significant crosswind component of 6 knots, which the pilot should be aware of to better navigate the landing.

Lastly, the runway rollout alignment showed room for improvement, with the aircraft deviating by 18.4 meters from the centerline. This aspect of the landing will require the pilot to work on better control and coordination during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing highlights a good foundation of skills and knowledge but emphasizes the need for further refinement in specific areas, such as threshold speed control and better control during the runway rollout phase, to reach optimal levels.
