The flight began with a departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The Cessna Skyhawk took off after a distance of 627 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The distance covered during this maneuver was less than 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed from runway 18, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 39 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 69.0 degrees. The pattern downwind leg covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 79 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was executed with a distance of 3 nautical miles, and an angle to the runway of 52.9 degrees. The pattern base leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 67 seconds. The final turn before landing was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 37 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, heading in a northerly direction at an altitude of 312 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 18 was executed with a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was too high at 74 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 83 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 73 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -293 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, despite the local weather conditions, which remained the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.

The total landing distance was 541 meters, accounting for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, taking 7 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield in the Cessna Skyhawk

Landing Score 89.86 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 89.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 176.0° at 1 nautical mile and 312 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a smooth final approach, aligning well with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 74 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 83 meters was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

However, the touchdown speed of 73 knots was too fast, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The rate of descent was fair at -293 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting that the pilot could have managed the aircraft's descent more efficiently. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 239°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but they were able to manage the aircraft effectively.

The total landing distance of 541 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline. This indicates that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a stable and aligned rollout, possibly due to the crosswind component.

Overall, the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the landing, but there were some areas for improvement, such as managing the threshold speed and touchdown speed more effectively. With some refinement, the pilot can continue to improve their skills and achieve even higher scores.
