Departing from Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB), the DR400 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 36, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 69 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold in 456 m, utilizing 37% of the available runway length. The climb phase commenced overhead the airfield, with the aircraft ascending from 639 ft above sea level to 1,002 ft, a vertical gain of 363 ft in just 3 minutes. This climb phase also covered a horizontal distance of 6 nm.

As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it eventually began its final approach to runway 36 at EDFB, descending from 1,002 ft above ground level to 593 ft at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold. The aircraft was aligned with the runway heading of 355.0°. However, upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was found to be excessively high at 82 kt, while the touchdown speed of 75 kt was also above the recommended value. The touchdown distance of 97 m was satisfactory, but the touchdown rate of -348 fpm was firm. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline.

The aircraft's total landing distance of 399 m, accounting for 32% of the available runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline. The total flight distance of 8 nm was completed in 5 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kg. The local weather conditions during the flight remained relatively stable, with temperatures ranging from 14 °C to 13 °C and wind speeds varying between 7 kt and 8 kt.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the south, heading 355.0° at 1 nm and 593 ft agl, was executed with good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 82 kt, indicating a potential for a longer landing distance. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 75 kt, which was also excessively fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -348 fpm.

The touchdown distance of 97 m was good, but the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline. This slight deviation from the centreline was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft was 8.8 m off-centre. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, may have contributed to the slightly higher threshold speed and touchdown speed. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt.

The total landing distance of 399 m was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 81.6%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and touchdown speed to achieve a more optimal landing.
