The flight in the Cessna C172 started with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The takeoff distance covered was 521 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed recorded was 74 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 5°C with no wind present, resulting in zero knots of crosswind or headwind. The flight followed a left-hand pattern entry from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 30 seconds.

During the left-hand pattern crosswind from runway 36, the flight covered 1 nm in 39 seconds. The pattern then continued with a downwind turn, covering 1 nm at an angle of 73.2° to the runway. The downwind leg extended to 2 nm in 57 seconds before transitioning to the base leg turn, which covered 2 nm at an angle of 43.3° to the runway.

The base leg of the pattern was less than 1 nm in length and lasted 26 seconds. The final turn to align with the runway was also less than 1 nm and completed in 9 seconds. The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was from the south, at a heading of 360.0°, with the aircraft 1 nm away from the runway at an altitude of 0 feet.

The landing on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was completed with a runway length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was good, but the landing speed was slightly high at 88 knots. The touchdown distance was 149 meters, with the touchdown speed recorded at 83 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -103 ft/min, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance covered was 565 meters, representing 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment after landing was very good. The total flight distance covered was 6 nm, taking 12 minutes and consuming 5 kg of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C with no wind present, resulting in zero knots of crosswind or headwind.

Landing Score 87.25 %

Landing Summary

Overall, the aircraft landing score of 87.2% indicates a fairly good performance with room for improvement in certain areas.

During the Approach Phase, the descent path above the glideslope limit and poor heading alignment are areas that need to be addressed. Ensuring that the aircraft stays on the correct descent path and maintains proper heading alignment will contribute to a smoother and more precise approach. Additionally, the threshold speed of 88 knots being too high suggests the need for better speed control during this phase of the landing.

In the Landing Phase, the good threshold height and perfect landing flare are positive aspects that contributed to a successful touchdown. However, the excessively fast touchdown speed of 83 knots indicates that adjustments need to be made to achieve a safer and smoother landing experience.

The Touchdown Phase showed a smooth touchdown rate of -103 ft/m, which is a positive sign of a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown distance of 149 meters is also within acceptable limits, but the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position by 5.0 meters from the centerline should be addressed to ensure precision during future landings.

Overall, while the landing score of 87.2% is encouraging, focusing on improvements in speed control, descent path, heading alignment, and runway alignment will lead to smoother and more precise landings in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in all phases of the aircraft landing process.
