The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport, EDDF. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 85 knots. The takeoff distance was 58 meters, which is just 1% of the runway length.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and a wind of 3 knots from 287 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was also 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, a town in the state of Hessen, Germany. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,210 feet above sea level to 2,440 feet, an increase of 1,230 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Kelsterbach. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of EMRA Maurice Rose Airfield Frankfurt. The descent from 2,380 feet to 1,281 feet took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Karben, another town in the state of Hessen, Germany. The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 2.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,097 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 36 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 56 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was 159 meters, which was good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent. The total landing distance was 577 meters, which is 47% of the runway length.

The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind of 3 knots from 287 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.

Landing on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 95.11 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 2.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,097 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, which has a length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 65 knots. The touchdown distance of 159 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, the touchdown speed of 56 knots was a little fast, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly earlier than necessary. The touchdown rate of -127 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle impact on the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 287°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were able to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.

The total landing distance of 577 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and smoothly, without overshooting the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency. The aircraft was brought to a safe and controlled stop, and the pilot was able to navigate the challenging weather conditions with ease.
