Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 5.6 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3.4°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set.

Side view — the last 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 114 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Bonanza G36 aircraft departed from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, covering a takeoff distance of 543 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 85 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 246 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 57 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 31 seconds, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 3 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 49.2 degrees. The downwind leg itself took 71 seconds to complete, covering the same distance of 3 nautical miles.
The pattern base leg turn required a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 56.9 degrees. The base leg itself was completed in 47 seconds, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final turn, which was less than 1 nautical mile in distance, took 21 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36 from the south, at a heading of 359.0 degrees and an altitude of 635 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 36 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also good at 75 knots. The touchdown distance was 112 meters, which was considered good, and the touchdown speed was 70 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -176 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.9 meters.
The total landing distance was 472 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.4 meters. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 359.0° at 1 nautical mile and 635 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 75 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 112 meters was also within acceptable limits. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 70 knots and the touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm) were both good, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to slight variations in wind or pilot control. Additionally, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 251°, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 472 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal rollout path.
Overall, the Bonanza G36 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled approach, and the aircraft's handling characteristics were well-suited to the landing conditions.
