The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The aircraft took off in a distance of 392 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 108 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, the weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 0 degrees. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the flight even smoother.

The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern, which involved a series of turns and descents to prepare for landing. The pattern entry from runway 18 was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 61 seconds, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed smoothly, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 30 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its descent, it entered the pattern downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway. The distance covered during this turn was 4 nautical miles, and the pilot maintained a steady heading of 176.0 degrees. The pattern downwind leg was then completed, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 51 seconds.

The next phase of the flight involved the pattern base leg turn, which again involved a 45-degree angle to the runway. The distance covered during this turn was 4 nautical miles, and the pilot maintained a steady heading. The pattern base leg was then completed, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 73 seconds.

The final turn of the pattern was the pattern final turn, which was completed in 72 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18, descending from an altitude of 636 feet above ground level (agl) at a heading of 176.0 degrees.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 83 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 135 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -105 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.2 meters.

The total landing distance was 161 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing. The total flight distance was 14 nautical miles, and the flight used 4 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft successfully landed on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing technique. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 176.0° at 1 nautical mile and 636 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the aircraft to make a precise approach to the runway, taking advantage of the available wind conditions.

The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 94 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and make adjustments as necessary to ensure a smooth touchdown. The touchdown distance of 135 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 83 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -105 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, indicating that the pilot was able to absorb the impact of the landing and maintain control of the aircraft.

However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline of the runway, with the aircraft touching down 6.2 meters off-center. This may be due to a slight miscalculation of the approach path or a minor deviation in the aircraft's heading. Nevertheless, the pilot was able to recover quickly and maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and no wind. This allowed the pilot to focus on the approach and landing without having to contend with any adverse weather conditions. The total landing distance of 161 meters was also within acceptable limits, accounting for only 13% of the runway length.

Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and heading during the approach and landing phase. The rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a stop safely and efficiently.
