The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, took off with a takeoff distance of 372 meters, which was 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 71 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 84 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Florstadt, Hessen, Germany, at an altitude of 1,709 feet above sea level. The climb was steep, with an increase of 1,829 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, flying 1 mile east of Karben, Hessen, Germany, for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent overhead Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Germany, from an altitude of 3,401 feet above sea level to 1,838 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,563 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, heading 254.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,481 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 25C was successful, with a touchdown distance of 133 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 49 knots, also good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 20 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 495 meters, which was 12% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 21 nautical miles, taking 11 minutes, and the aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 25C at EDDF Frankfurt Airport in the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche

Landing Score 94.36 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25C. The aircraft's final approach was from the east, heading 254.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,481 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot achieved a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 55 knots, coming in at 49 knots. This indicates that the pilot managed to control the descent and touchdown speed effectively. The touchdown distance of 133 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to a safe landing.

However, there were some areas for improvement in the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Additionally, the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the pilot could have done a better job of controlling the descent rate.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 3°C and winds of 8 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were not particularly challenging, and the pilot should have been able to handle them with ease.

The total landing distance of 495 meters was only 12% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement. The pilot demonstrated good control of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown, but could have done a better job of controlling the descent rate and maintaining alignment with the runway centerline.
