Top opportunity

Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Landing on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the DR40
Landing Score 87.14 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft DR40 successfully landed on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 87.1%. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 2.0° at 1 nautical mile and 396 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was evaluated. The touchdown distance was found to be good, measuring 279 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly high at 78 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate was good, with a rate of -197 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 4°C and no wind. This allowed the pilot to maintain a steady approach and landing. The runway length of 1,230 meters was sufficient for the aircraft to land safely, with the total landing distance measuring 450 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed. With a score of 87.1%, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control, but may need to work on refining their technique to achieve a higher score.
