The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, a small airfield in Hessen, Germany. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 457 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 67 knots, and the aircraft climbed away from the airfield into the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Reichelsheim, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 1,027 feet above sea level in just one minute, covering a distance of one nautical mile. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for two minutes and covered a distance of three nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 1,449 feet to 2,018 feet above sea level, an increase of 569 feet in two minutes, covering a distance of three nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its enroute cruise, reaching an altitude of 2,888 feet above sea level before beginning its descent. The descent started one mile south of Schotten, Hessen, Germany, and took three minutes to complete, covering a distance of four nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 2,888 feet to 2,172 feet above sea level, a decrease of 716 feet.
The final approach to runway 07 at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 77.0 degrees at an altitude of 13 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which was 845 meters long, and the touchdown distance was good at 267 meters. However, the touchdown speed was fast at 66 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 175 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 16.9 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 628 meters, which was 74% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot.
The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight took 13 minutes to complete, using 5 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in the local weather conditions. However, there were some issues with the landing, including a fast touchdown speed and a misaligned runway touchdown position.

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield, achieving an overall score of 86.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 77.0° at an altitude of 13 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was made to runway 07, which has a length of 845 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 79 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed than necessary during the approach, which could have affected the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 267 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 66 knots was faster than ideal.
The touchdown rate of 175 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 18.1 meters from the centerline, which could have made the landing more challenging for the pilot.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 355°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 628 meters was 74% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was misaligned by 16.9 meters from the centerline, which is a concern as it may indicate a loss of control or a failure to maintain directional control during the landing. Overall, while the Cessna Skyhawk achieved a good score, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more optimal threshold speed and improving the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment.
