The flight in the Cessna Skyhawk began with a departure roll on runway 26 at EDFE Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport. The takeoff distance was 190 meters, which was 16% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 74 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 6°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots coming from 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

The pilot made a left-hand pattern entry from runway 26 at EDFE Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds. This was followed by a left-hand pattern crosswind from the same runway, covering a similar distance in 21 seconds. The pattern then continued with a downwind turn, covering 1 nautical mile at an angle of 55.0° to the runway in 86 seconds. The base leg turn was next, covering 2 nautical miles at an angle of 23.5° to the runway in 22 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 9 seconds.

The landing took place on runway 26 at EDFE Frankfurt-Egelsbach Airport, which has a length of 1,162 meters. The height at the threshold was 7 feet above ground level, with a speed of 57 knots. The touchdown occurred 39 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 56 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -134 feet per minute. The crosswind at the time of landing was 7 knots, with a headwind of 5 knots.

Overall, the total landing distance was 420 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The total flight distance covered was 7 nautical miles, taking 5 minutes and using 2 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Score 98.44 %

Landing Summary

Great job on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 98.4%! Let's take a closer look at each phase of the landing to see what went well and where there might be some room for improvement.

During the Approach Phase, it's great to see that you had excellent glideslope alignment. This is crucial for a safe and smooth descent towards the runway. Additionally, being slightly below the target speed indicates that you were managing your airspeed effectively, which is key for a successful landing.

Moving on to the Landing Phase, having a good threshold height and executing a perfect landing flare are both signs of skillful piloting. The landing flare is particularly important as it helps to reduce the rate of descent just before touchdown, leading to a smoother landing.

In the Touchdown Phase, it's noted that the touchdown rate was smooth, which is exactly what you want to aim for. While the speed was a little above target, this is a minor detail that can easily be adjusted with practice. The fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone is also a positive sign of precision.

Lastly, the Rollout Phase is where we see a bit more room for improvement. The runway alignment being 4.6 m from the centerline indicates a slight deviation from the ideal path. This is an area where continued practice and focus on maintaining alignment can help improve overall landing performance.

Overall, you should feel proud of your high landing score and the many positive aspects of your landing performance. By continuing to work on maintaining speed, alignment, and precision throughout all phases of the landing, you will be well on your way to achieving even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work and happy flying!
