The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The aircraft took off in a distance of 293 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it was observed that the weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 0 degrees. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to affect the flight.

The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern, starting from runway 36. The entry into the pattern was smooth, with a distance of 2 nautical miles covered in 57 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed without any issues, with a distance of 1 nautical mile covered in 30 seconds.

The flight then proceeded to the downwind turn, which was completed in a distance of 4 nautical miles. The angle to the runway was 45 degrees, with a turn angle of 27.6 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 6 nautical miles long and took 136 seconds to complete.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, it turned in a distance of 3 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 48.4 degrees. The base leg was 1 nautical mile long and took 37 seconds to complete.

The final turn was completed in a distance of 1 nautical mile and took 40 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 36, heading 358.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and -57 feet above ground level.

The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 86 knots and a touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 263 meters, which was good considering the runway length of 1,230 meters. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 623 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centreline. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was considered good.

The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, which was covered in 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -1,065 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with minimal deviations from the planned route.

Landing on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Extra

Landing Score 94.27 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft successfully landed on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a high score of 94.3%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 358.0° at 1 nautical mile and 57 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 97 knots, coming in at 86 knots. This indicates that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively, resulting in a good touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 263 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a safe landing.

The landing rate of -182 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent and avoid any excessive deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's approach and landing technique.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 5°C and no wind. This made the landing process relatively straightforward, with no crosswind or headwind to contend with. The total landing distance of 623 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. This may indicate that the pilot could benefit from some additional training or practice to improve their ability to maintain a straight course during the rollout phase. Overall, however, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and technique throughout the approach and landing process.
