Landing on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 93.57 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 93.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 193.0° at 1 nautical mile and 766 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is essential for a safe landing.

Upon reaching the threshold speed of 53 knots, the pilot was reminded to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was well below the target. The touchdown distance of 20 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed.

However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -464 feet per minute. This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a bit more control during the final stages of the landing, but it did not compromise the overall safety of the operation.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach technique. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a moderate wind of 11 knots at 135°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which may have required some adjustments in the pilot's approach and landing technique. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 21% of the runway length.
