The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The DA62 aircraft required a takeoff distance of 440 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 83 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 341 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The distance covered during this maneuver was less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed from the same runway, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 17 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 50.6 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 69 seconds.

The base leg turn was another critical phase of the flight, with a distance of 3 nautical miles covered. The angle to the runway during this turn was 36.9 degrees. The base leg itself was relatively short, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 34 seconds. The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the final approach, was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds.

The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was executed from the south, with a heading of 339.0 degrees at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 988 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also good at 80 knots. However, the touchdown distance was slightly longer than expected at 50 meters, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 76 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -618 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 476 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the DA62

Landing Score 86.62 %

Landing Summary

The DA62 aircraft successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving an overall score of 86.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 339.0° at 2 nautical miles and 988 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 80 knots, indicating a good approach configuration. However, the touchdown speed of 76 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a heavy touchdown rate of -618 feet per minute (fpm). This high rate of descent could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have affected the overall landing quality.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing phase. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the same direction as the approach (339°). This minimal wind effect likely contributed to the aircraft's ability to maintain a stable approach.

The total landing distance of 476 meters was within 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position or the aircraft's response to the landing.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some areas for improvement, such as maintaining a slower touchdown speed and ensuring a more accurate touchdown position.
