Departure
Arrival
The flight began with an enroute climb from the Hoherodskopf Schotten (Hessen, Germany) location, where the aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, took off from an altitude of 2,147 ft above sea level. The climb was steady, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 243 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This initial climb phase set the stage for the rest of the flight.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for 7 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a significant distance of 13 nautical miles, showcasing its efficiency and stability. The cruise phase was a crucial part of the flight, allowing the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady pace.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles north of Altenstadt (Hessen, Germany). The descent was steep, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude by 1,121 ft in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid descent phase was a critical part of the flight, requiring precise control and navigation to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 310.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft was at an altitude of 559 ft above ground level (agl) at this point, indicating a good approach configuration. The landing was executed on runway 36, which had a length of 1,230 meters.
The landing itself was notable for several factors. The threshold height was good, indicating a suitable approach configuration. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 79 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been pushing the aircraft too hard. The touchdown distance was good at 306 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 70 kt. The touchdown rate was excellent at -66 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 3 kt at 41°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 kt, indicating a relatively calm and stable environment. The total landing distance was 716 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout phase.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well throughout the various phases of the flight. The climb, cruise, and descent phases were all executed smoothly, and the landing was controlled and safe. However, there were some areas for improvement, such as the excessively high threshold speed and the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position. Overall, the flight was a good demonstration of the Cessna Skyhawk's capabilities and the pilot's skills.

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving an overall score of 84.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 310.0° at 1 nautical mile and 559 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, setting up for a landing on runway 36, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
Upon touchdown, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was excessively high at 79 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 306 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly too fast. However, the touchdown rate of -66 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a well-executed flare.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 33°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 41°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each.
The total landing distance of 716 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and touchdown speed.
