This flight, operated with a DR400 aircraft, began with a departure roll from runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. The aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of just 137 meters, representing only 3% of the runway. It lifted off at a speed of 55 knots, showcasing the plane's excellent performance on takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 24 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 8 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots and the headwind was 1 knot, presenting a gentle challenge for the pilot to navigate. The enroute climb began overhead Sandweiler, Luxembourg, where the aircraft was climbing from 1,357 feet above sea level to 1,220 feet, increasing in altitude by 137 feet in just 1 minute.
As the aircraft approached the airport for its final landing, it was heading directly from the south west, at a bearing of 63.0 degrees and an altitude gain of just 36 feet above ground level at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. This precision alignment ensured a smooth and safe landing.
The landing itself was achieved on runway 06, with a total runway length of 3,989 meters. Despite a threshold speed that was slightly too high at 70 knots, the touchdown distance of 433 meters was good and the touchdown speed of 49 knots was well within the desired range. Additionally, the touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute, demonstrating the pilot's skill and proficiency. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Throughout the flight, the local weather conditions remained generally favorable, with temperatures ranging from 24 to 23 degrees Celsius and light winds of 8 knots at varying directions. The crosswind was relatively consistent throughout the landing process, at either 6 or 8 knots, while the headwind provided an extra boost of 5 knots.
The flight overall had a total distance of 2 nautical miles, which the aircraft covered in just 3 minutes while consuming a mere 1 kilogram of fuel. Following the landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway was a quick and efficient process, covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute.

The DR400 aircraft has successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, scoring a high 97.5% on its performance metrics. The final approach phase was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 63.0° and an altitude of 36 feet above ground level at 0 nautical miles. The aircraft was landing on runway 06, which has a length of 3,989 meters. An examination of the landing parameters indicates that the aircraft had a good threshold height, which is essential for a stable approach.
However, there was a slight issue with the threshold speed, as it was noted to be too high at 70 knots. Ideally, the threshold speed should be lower to ensure a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the aircraft still managed a good touchdown distance of 433 meters. Moreover, the touchdown speed of 49 knots was within the desirable range, indicating a decent speed control. The touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a very good control over the descent.
The local weather conditions during the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a moderate wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 110°. This resulted in a relatively mild crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 630 meters, accounting for only 16% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory, with very good alignment throughout the landing roll. Overall, the landing was performed well, with the DR400 aircraft displaying a high degree of control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
