The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Hoherodskopf Airfield, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the 221-meter runway, covering 26% of its length before taking off. The liftoff speed was 67 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 5 knots from 184 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from Hoherodskopf Airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the EDX1 Hoherodskopf Schotten location. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 2,779 feet above sea level to 4,914 feet, an increase of 2,135 feet, in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted 5 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew over the Ortenberg location in Hessen, Germany.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile east of Niederdorfelden, where the aircraft started its descent from 5,053 feet above sea level to 1,996 feet, a decrease of 3,057 feet, in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 251.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 1,649 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 56 knots and a distance of 300 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -456 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 8 knots from 187 degrees.
The total landing distance was 590 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 22.1 meters. The total flight distance was 37 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes, during which the aircraft used 13 kilograms of fuel.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed on runway 25C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport, achieving a score of 75.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,649 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold speed of 66 knots, which is a crucial factor in ensuring a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was within the acceptable range at 300 meters. The touchdown speed of 56 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had effectively controlled the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard at -456 feet per minute (fpm), which may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 187°, may have also contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 590 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for only 15% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot had effectively controlled the aircraft's descent and rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise alignment during the rollout phase.
