Side view — the last 463 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 463 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 15 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Biggest loss first. Every scored stage counts equally within its phase, and the phases equally in the flight score — so each amount is exact, not an estimate.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at EDLX Wesel-Römerwardt Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off after a distance of 483 meters, which accounted for 84% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDLX Wesel-Römerwardt Airfield. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 225 feet above sea level to 658 feet above sea level, an increase of 432 feet, in just 1 minute. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 1 mile south of Wesel, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
The enroute descent phase began overhead Haltern am See, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,541 feet above sea level to 773 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,768 feet, in 4 minutes. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 25 at EDLB Borkenberge Airfield, which was located to the east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 614 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway when it started its final approach.
The landing on runway 25 at EDLB Borkenberge Airfield was characterized by a runway length of 463 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 79 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 13 meters, but the touchdown speed was excessively fast at 78 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4 meters from the centerline. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 554 meters, which accounted for 120% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 31 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at EDLB Borkenberge Airfield, but with some areas for improvement. The aircraft's final approach to runway 25 from the east was executed at a heading of 251.0°, 1 nautical mile away from the runway, and at an altitude of 614 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on a runway that is 463 meters long, which is a relatively short runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 79 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance was good at 13 meters, but the touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 78 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to reduce the touchdown speed further to make the landing more stable.
The touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute (fpm), which is a reasonable rate for a Cessna Skyhawk. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were not particularly challenging, and the pilot should have been able to handle them effectively.
The total landing distance was 554 meters, which is 120% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it may have been due to the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-centerline. The runway rollout alignment was very good, which suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of reducing the touchdown speed and improving the runway touchdown position. With some practice and refinement of the pilot's skills, the landing distance and touchdown speed can be improved, making the landing even safer and more efficient.
