The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was conducted from the north on a heading of 177.0° at 1 nm and 458 ft agl. Ambient temperature was 36 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 181°, providing a 7 kt headwind and no cross-wind component.
The threshold height was reported as good, while the threshold speed was noted as excessively high at 76 kt.
Touchdown occurred 270 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 61 kt also rated good. The vertical touchdown rate was fair at minus 256 fpm and the touchdown point was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 586 m, representing 48 % of the 1 227 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly misaligned, deviating 9.5 m from the centreline.
Reduce the threshold speed toward the appropriate VREF to avoid excess energy on flare, and refine the lateral control to achieve centreline alignment at touchdown and maintain it through rollout. These adjustments will tighten the remaining variances while preserving the overall strong performance reflected by the 87.9 % score.
