The Extra 330 taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the take-off roll, covering 233 m which represented 19 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 67 kt under a temperature of 32 °C, with a wind from 153° at 8 kt, providing a head-wind component of 8 kt and a cross-wind component of 4 kt.

During the left-hand pattern the aircraft entered from runway 18, completing the entry and cross-wind legs in less than 1 nm each, taking 13 seconds and 24 seconds respectively. The downwind turn covered 1 nm at an angle of 76.1° to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 52 seconds. The base-leg turn spanned 2 nm at 38.5° to the runway, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 19 seconds. The final turn was also less than 1 nm, taking 34 seconds, and the aircraft established a final approach to runway 18 from the north on a heading of 176.0° at 1 nm and 409 ft AGL.

The landing was executed on runway 18, whose length is 1 224 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 85 kt, higher than optimal. Touchdown occurred 63 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 66 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 111 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 9.0 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 892 m, representing 73 % of the runway length.

Rollout continued with a slight centreline deviation of 8.9 m as the aircraft decelerated along the remaining runway.

In total the flight covered 7 nm, took 4 (units as reported), and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the north on a heading of 176.0° at 1 NM and 409 ft agl, with a temperature of 32 °C, wind 8 kt from 153°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.

The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 85 kt.

Touchdown occurred 63 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 66 kt that was good and a smooth vertical rate of minus 111 fpm; the touchdown point was misaligned by 9.0 m from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 892 m, representing 73 % of the 1 224 m runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 8.9 m from the centreline.

With a score of 86.3 % the landing was solid; reducing the threshold speed toward the target and tightening centreline alignment on touchdown and rollout will further improve performance.
