Landing Summary

The aircraft successfully landed on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 174.0° at an altitude of 374 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.

However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 116 knots, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. Additionally, the touchdown speed was also excessively fast at 105 knots, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. The touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute (fpm), which is slightly above the optimal rate.

Despite these minor issues, the aircraft performed well in terms of touchdown distance, which was good at 273 meters. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 4°C and no wind, which made the landing even smoother.

The total landing distance was 579 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline even after touchdown.

Overall, the aircraft performed well during the landing, with some minor areas for improvement. The high score of 96.8% indicates that the pilot was able to execute a safe and controlled landing, despite some minor issues with speed and touchdown rate.
