Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Hoherodskopf Airfield, EDUR. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, accelerated down the runway, covering 30% of its length, before lifting off into the air. The liftoff speed was 73 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude.
As the aircraft climbed to a safe cruising altitude, it leveled off overhead EDX1, a nearby airfield. The enroute level cruise lasted for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at this point were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 236 degrees.
After completing the enroute level cruise, the aircraft began its descent towards Bad Hersfeld Airfield, EDEN. The descent started 1 mile southwest of the airfield and involved a decrease in altitude from 2,700 feet above sea level to 1,520 feet above sea level. This descent took 2 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the airfield, it began its final approach to runway 18. The approach was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 188.0 degrees at an altitude of 562 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. However, the landing was not without its challenges, as the threshold speed was excessively high at 83 knots, and the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway.
The touchdown speed was also fast at 68 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at this point were similar to those during the enroute level cruise, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 236 degrees.
The total landing distance was 675 meters, which accounted for 95% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.4 meters from the centreline. Despite these challenges, the aircraft managed to complete the landing safely.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 30 nautical miles and lasted for 22 minutes. The aircraft used 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient use of resources.

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft has successfully landed at EDEN Bad Hersfeld Airfield, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 188.0° at 1 nautical mile and 562 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 709 meters.
However, there were several areas of concern during the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 83 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft and its occupants. Additionally, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot may have been a bit too high on final approach, resulting in a longer than necessary landing roll.
The touchdown speed of 68 knots was also faster than recommended, which could have increased the risk of a bounced landing or a loss of control. The touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, but could have been improved with a more controlled descent. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing roll more challenging.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and winds of 9 knots at 236°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within 675 meters, which is 95% of the available runway.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.4 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing roll more challenging. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas of concern that the pilot should address in order to improve the safety and efficiency of future landings.
