This flight was conducted on a Eurocopter EC-135T1 aircraft, which was utilized as an ambulance. The flight operations began with a go-around at Stuttgart Airport, specifically at a height of 9 feet above ground level (agl). This maneuver marked the initial stage of the flight and set the tone for the subsequent operations.
As the aircraft progressed, a final approach to landing was initiated at Stuttgart Airport. The altitude during this phase varied from a significant 742 feet agl to 1 nautical mile away from the designated point of landing. This descent phase showcased the skill and precision of the pilots as they navigated the aircraft safely towards its destination.
The approach continued, and the aircraft prepared for touchdown. A controlled descent from 44 feet agl to 0 feet agl was achieved in an impressive 19 seconds. This rapid yet controlled descent demonstrated the crew's expertise and adherence to safety protocols.
The moment of touchdown arrived as the aircraft landed safely at Stuttgart Airport. Notably, the touchdown speed was a mere 2 knots, indicating a high degree of control and precision in the pilots' actions. Furthermore, the touchdown rate, which was -169 feet per minute (fpm), was deemed good, signifying that the aircraft touched down gently and smoothly.
Another critical aspect of the landing was the touchdown distance, which was an impressive 104 feet. This short landing distance highlighted the crew's exceptional airmanship and ability to bring the aircraft in safely, even in challenging conditions.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit. The wind speed was minimal, with a moderate breeze of 1 knot blowing from the northwest direction at 269 degrees. However, despite the presence of wind, there was neither a significant crosswind nor a tailwind, which contributed to the safe execution of the landing.
Lastly, the flight statistics revealed an impressive performance. The total flight distance covered was a mere 1 nautical mile, and the entire operation took approximately 9 minutes to complete. The fuel consumption was also noteworthy, with the aircraft consuming a mere -1 pound of fuel during the flight.

The Eurocopter EC-135T1 ambulance helicopter executed a smooth landing at Stuttgart Airport, demonstrating exceptional flying skills. The aircraft began its final approach from a distance of 1 nautical mile, descending steadily at a suitable height of 742 feet above ground level (agl). As it progressed towards touchdown, the pilot maintained precision, allowing the aircraft to transition smoothly into its final descent phase, where it effectively reduced its altitude from 44 feet agl to a complete stop at the ground.
The helicopter's descent speed was impressively controlled, reducing its altitude by 44 feet in a remarkably short time of 19 seconds. This rapid descent was likely executed in conjunction with a well-coordinated approach, reflecting the pilot's expertise in handling emergency medical transport aircraft like the EC-135T1. The successful touchdown at Stuttgart Airport was achieved with an extremely low airspeed of 2 knots, demonstrating exceptional control and mastery over the aircraft.
The helicopter's touchdown rate of -169 feet per minute (fpm) indicates a gentle and controlled contact with the ground, minimizing any potential impact stress on the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 104 feet is also noteworthy, showcasing the pilot's ability to precision-land the aircraft within a relatively tight zone. These impressive numbers reflect the high level of training and proficiency of the pilot, as well as the EC-135T1's inherent capabilities as a versatile and reliable helicopter.
On a related note, the prevailing local weather conditions at the time of the landing were conducive to a safe and stable flight. A mild temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a moderate wind speed of 1 knot from a relatively straightforward direction of 269 degrees did not pose any significant challenges to the aircraft's handling. The slight crosswind and tailwind components, both at 1 knot, were negligible and did not require any major adjustments to the pilot's approach strategy. Overall, the aircraft's landing at Stuttgart Airport was a testament to the capabilities of the Eurocopter EC-135T1 and the flying expertise of its pilot.
