This flight was conducted in a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft, which began its enroute climb from a starting point 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, a town located in the state of Hessen, Germany. The aircraft successfully climbed from an initial altitude of 338 feet above sea level to a height of 2,832 feet, representing an increase of 2,493 feet over a period of 4 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which began overhead the town of Bad Soden am Taunus, also situated in Hessen, Germany. During this 6-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent from an altitude of 2,913 feet above sea level to 1,844 feet, resulting in a decrease of 1,069 feet over a period of 3 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This descent phase began overhead the town of Bad Nauheim, another location in Hessen, Germany.
The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was conducted from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 186.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,437 feet above ground level. The aircraft successfully landed on the runway, which had a length of 1,230 meters, and achieved a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 65 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 153 meters and a touchdown speed of 56 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -114 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 126 degrees. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 384 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
In conclusion, the flight was completed over a total distance of 29 nautical miles, taking a total of 15 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 11 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 95.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 186.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,437 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, maintaining a good threshold height and speed of 65 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 153 meters, with a corresponding speed of 56 knots. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -114 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 meters, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 126°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 384 meters, which accounted for approximately 31% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to configure it for a smooth touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good technique and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position may require some attention to improve the pilot's approach technique.
