Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 62 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 73 kt, 11 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 62 kt at liftoff

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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, off the centreline and wings not level.

The 55 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 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 393 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 73 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 203 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 18, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 17 seconds, covering a similar distance. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 57.2 degrees. The downwind leg itself took 63 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The pattern base leg turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 56.0 degrees. The base leg took 59 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the final approach, was completed in 24 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 18 was made from the north, with a heading of 156.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 469 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 18 was characterized by a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was too high at 77 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 54 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 74 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -170 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 203 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The total landing distance was 451 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 92.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 156.0° at 1 nautical mile and 469 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the pilot touched down on the runway at a distance of 54 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 74 knots was slightly too high, indicating that the pilot could have applied more gentle control during the descent. The touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from 203°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 18 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a precise and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 451 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled landing, with minimal loss of altitude during the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed, which could be achieved through more gentle control during the descent.
