The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, a small airfield in Germany. The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 68 knots. The takeoff distance was 288 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind of 5 knots from 300 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft through these conditions, initiating an enroute climb that started overhead Reichelsheim. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 863 feet above sea level to 2,365 feet, an increase of 1,502 feet in just 3 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 1 mile northwest of Nidderau, another location in Hessen, Germany.

As the aircraft approached its destination, Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), it began its final approach to runway 25L from the east. The aircraft was heading 255.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 1,755 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 25L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 55 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -82 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 455 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the pilot successfully navigating the aircraft through various weather conditions and navigating it to a safe landing at Frankfurt Airport.

Landing on runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 96.08 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25L, achieving a score of 96.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 255.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,755 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 239°.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 62 knots. The touchdown distance of 122 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 55 knots was a little faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.

Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown rate of -82 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.

The local weather conditions, including a 6-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The total landing distance of 455 meters, which accounted for only 11% of the runway length, was impressive, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was executed with precision and accuracy.
