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 151 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Sukhoi SU-26 started with a departure roll on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The takeoff distance was 362 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 98 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 1°C with a wind of 10 knots coming from 182°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots.
The enroute climb began overhead Florstadt, Hessen, Germany, with the aircraft climbing from 1,425 feet above sea level to 1,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 573 feet in less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise started also over Florstadt and lasted 6 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
For the final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the north, the aircraft was heading at 170.0° at 2 nautical miles and at an altitude of 533 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was successful with a runway length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was above the target at 83 knots. The touchdown distance was 150 meters, and the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -59 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather during landing was 0°C with a wind of 9 knots from 181°, resulting in a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 518 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, taking 8 minutes, and consuming 9 kilograms of fuel.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 97.1% is a strong indicator of a successful landing. The Approach Phase of the landing was particularly well-executed, with excellent glideslope alignment and a threshold speed of 83 knots, which was above the target speed. This indicates that the pilot maintained a steady descent path and controlled their airspeed effectively during the approach to the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is worth noting that the threshold height was good, indicating that the descent to the runway was well managed. The landing flare was also executed well, which is crucial for a smooth touchdown without a hard impact on the runway. The Touchdown Phase of the landing also displayed strong performance, with an impressive touchdown rate of -59 ft/m, indicating a gentle landing.
While the touchdown speed of 72 knots was slightly faster than ideal, the touchdown distance of 150 meters was still within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating a precise touchdown point on the runway.
Overall, this landing showcased a high level of skill and proficiency on the part of the pilot. With some minor improvements in touchdown speed, this landing could have been even closer to perfect. The positive aspects of this landing, such as the precise alignment and gentle touchdown, should be acknowledged and commended. Keep up the good work, and continue to strive for excellence in future landings.
