The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 471 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 77 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, the pilot encountered a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 74 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. These conditions required the pilot to adjust the flight plan accordingly.

The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 18, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn took 34 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind turn was executed at an angle of 62.9 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself took 66 seconds to complete, also covering 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, the pilot executed a turn at an angle of 17.1 degrees to the runway, again covering 2 nautical miles. The final approach was made from the north, heading 146.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 474 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 18 was executed with a threshold speed that was excessively high at 90 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 465 meters, and the touchdown speed was 76 knots, which was also excessively fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions during the landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 78 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,051 meters, accounting for 85% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

Landing on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 80.58 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving an overall score of 80.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 146.0° at 1 nautical mile and 474 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, with a good threshold height, indicating a well-controlled descent.

However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 90 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 76 knots, which could have resulted in a longer rollout distance. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth at -149 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled touchdown.

The landing distance was good, with a touchdown distance of 465 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The total landing distance of 1,051 meters was 85% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 78°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and there was no headwind component. Overall, the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills during the landing, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed management.
