The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off after a distance of 492 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 71 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, the pilot encountered a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 34 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern entry from runway 36, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed successfully, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 37 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, which involved a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle to the runway of 66.6 degrees. The downwind leg itself took 69 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The base leg turn was another critical phase of the flight, with the pilot executing a turn of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 56.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself took 42 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final turn was the shortest, taking less than 1 nautical mile in 32 seconds.

As the aircraft approached the runway, it was heading 358.0 degrees at an altitude of 961 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on runway 36, which has a length of 1,230 meters. Although the threshold speed was too high at 74 knots, the touchdown distance was good at 301 meters.

The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 64 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -146 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 24 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 676 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, taking 5 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 94.65 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 94.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 358.0° at 1 nautical mile and 961 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, touching down on runway 36, which has a length of 1,230 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 74 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 301 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 64 knots was faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -146 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.8 meters, which may have been due to the pilot's judgment of the landing spot. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 24°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly high threshold speed.

The total landing distance of 676 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement.
