The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the aircraft, a Douglas DC-3, took off after covering 582 meters, or 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 203 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 21 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Florstadt, Hessen, Germany, rising from an altitude of 1,312 feet above sea level to 2,135 feet above sea level, an increase of 823 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Glauburg, Hessen, Germany, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Nidda, Hessen, Germany, descending from 2,242 feet above sea level to 1,577 feet above sea level, a decrease of 665 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered another enroute level cruise, this time 2 miles south of Hungen, Hessen, Germany, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the north, heading 172.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,016 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was characterized by a threshold speed that was excessively high at 94 knots, resulting in a touchdown point that was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was also too fast at 73 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -143 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 962 meters, or 78% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 203 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 21 nautical miles, taking 12 minutes to complete, and using 53 kilograms of fuel.

The Douglas DC-3 aircraft successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 172.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,016 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 94 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before reaching the runway threshold. As a result, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 73 knots was also too fast, which could have contributed to the long touchdown point.
The touchdown rate was smooth, at -143 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indicator of the pilot's control during the landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a combination of factors including wind and pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and winds of 21 knots at 203°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the misaligned touchdown and rollout.
The total landing distance was 962 meters, which is 78% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, but the long touchdown point and misaligned rollout suggest that there may be room for improvement. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a combination of factors including wind and pilot error.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are several areas where the pilot could improve their performance. These include reducing the threshold speed, improving the touchdown point, and aligning the aircraft with the centerline during rollout.
