The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 388 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots, and the aircraft was able to lift off the ground with ease.

As the aircraft entered the local area, it encountered a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 169 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern, entering the circuit from runway 18. The distance covered during the pattern entry was 1 nautical mile in 11 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 34 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 67.2 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long, taking 78 seconds to complete.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, the pilot initiated a turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 28.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The final turn was also short, taking 25 seconds to complete.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 from the north, heading 162.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 689 feet above ground level. The landing was completed with a touchdown point 62 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 60 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -124 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 700 meters, accounting for 57% of the runway. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a total distance of 10 nautical miles and took 6 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 91.56 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 91.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 162.0° at 2 nautical miles and 689 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, with a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

However, there were a few areas for improvement. The threshold speed was excessively high at 81 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 60 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot could have applied more gentle braking to achieve a smoother touchdown.

Despite these minor issues, the pilot demonstrated excellent control during the landing. The touchdown point was 62 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a steady course during the approach.

The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing even smoother.

The total landing distance was 700 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and a smooth touchdown. However, there is always room for improvement, and the pilot could benefit from working on reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed to achieve a more optimal landing.
