The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

Side view — the last 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 338 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at EDX1 Hoherodskopf, a small airfield in Germany. The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 283 meters, which accounted for 34% of the total runway length. As the aircraft lifted off the ground, it reached a liftoff speed of 71 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 232 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which affected the aircraft's takeoff performance.
After departing from EDX1 Hoherodskopf, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it flew overhead the airfield for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. This brief enroute phase allowed the pilot to adjust the aircraft's altitude and heading before proceeding to the final approach.
The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was initiated from the north, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 174.0 degrees and an altitude of 506 feet above ground level. The pilot then began the descent, preparing for landing on the 1,230-meter-long runway.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly higher than recommended, at 80 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good, covering 336 meters of the runway. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute was satisfactory. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 217 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which affected the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance was 598 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 17 nautical miles, taking 10 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient performance. Overall, the flight was executed with good precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's skill and experience in operating the Cessna Skyhawk aircraft.
The Cessna Skyhawk has successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving an impressive score of 88.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 174.0° at 1 nautical mile and 506 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 80 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. However, the touchdown distance of 336 meters was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 62 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -197 feet per minute (fpm) was good. This suggests that the pilot was able to absorb the impact of the landing effectively, minimizing the stress on the aircraft's landing gear. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 217°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make some adjustments to the approach, but they did not appear to have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 598 meters was 49% 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 had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
