Flight Score
Hold the approach angle
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Side view — the last 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 378 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at Hoherodskopf Airfield, EDUR. The Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 584 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 71 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 104 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.
After a brief enroute level cruise that lasted less than a minute and covered less than a nautical mile, the aircraft began its enroute climb from 1 mile southwest of Hoherodskopf Schotten. The climb took place from an altitude of 2,354 feet above sea level to 2,934 feet above sea level, an increase of 579 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 2 miles south of Schotten and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The next phase of the flight was the enroute descent, which began 1 mile northeast of Nidda and took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,369 feet above sea level to 1,480 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,888 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at Reichelsheim Airfield, EDFB, was made from the north, heading 160 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,071 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was characterized by a runway length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 84 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 376 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 70 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -184 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 79 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 881 meters, which was 72% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 89.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 160.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,071 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, landing on runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
Upon touchdown, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was excessively high at 84 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 376 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
However, the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly too fast, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's rate of descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 79°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 881 meters was 72% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and technique throughout the approach and landing phases.
