Departing from the vicinity of EDX1 Hoherodskopf Schotten, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche initiated its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 1,939 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 2,855 feet above sea level. This climb phase, which lasted approximately 3 minutes, resulted in a vertical gain of 917 feet and a horizontal displacement of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude for 5 minutes while covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
As the Comanche approached its destination, EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, it began its final approach to runway 18 from the north. The aircraft was established on the final approach course at an altitude of 1,513 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target value of 63 knots, resulting in a touchdown speed of 51 knots. The touchdown distance of 168 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute was excellent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.8 meters.
The landing roll was characterized by a slight misalignment from the centreline, with the aircraft deviating by 8.7 meters. The total landing distance of 365 meters accounted for approximately 30% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots from 239 degrees. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total flight distance was 17 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 6 kilograms of fuel during the 9-minute flight.

The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the north was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 189.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,513 feet above ground level. The pilot successfully aligned with the runway, and the threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 63 knots, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 168 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 51 knots. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with an excellent rate of -99 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline, which would be addressed in future training sessions. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind of 12 knots at 239°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 365 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centreline, but this was not significant enough to affect the overall score. Considering the approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout performance, the pilot was awarded a score of 93.8% for the landing.
