Hold the approach angle
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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,349 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 503 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the DA40-NG began with a departure roll on runway 03C at LTAC Esenboga. The takeoff distance was 493 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 76 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 16°C with a 1 knot wind coming from 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
After departure, the enroute climb started over LTAC Esenboga Ankara, ascending from 4,125 feet above sea level to 5,546 feet above sea level. This climb involved an increase of 1,421 feet in altitude over 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the flight transitioned into a level cruise phase 1 mile northwest of LTAC Esenboga Ankara, lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles.
The flight concluded with a landing on runway 21 at LTAE Akinci AB, which had a runway length of 3,349 meters. At the threshold, the aircraft was at a height of 19 feet above ground level and was traveling at a speed of 64 knots. The touchdown occurred 503 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 57 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -103 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 0°C with no wind, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
Overall, the total flight distance covered was 24 nautical miles, with a duration of 30 minutes. The aircraft consumed 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
You should be congratulated on achieving a landing score of 97.3%! Your proficiency in the Approach Phase is particularly impressive, with excellent glideslope alignment. Maintaining a steady approach and being slightly below the target speed shows great control and precision.
During the Landing Phase, you exhibited professionalism with a good threshold height and a well-executed landing flare. This indicates you have a keen sense of timing and are able to make the necessary adjustments for a smooth touchdown. Although your speed was slightly above target, your touchdown rate was consistently smooth, showcasing your skill in handling the aircraft in the critical moments before landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, there were some areas that could be improved upon. While your touchdown point was a little further beyond the designated zone, your runway touchdown position was slightly off centerline. These minor discrepancies can be amended with practice and attention to detail.
Overall, your performance is commendable, and with continued practice and focus on refining your techniques in all phases of the landing process, you will undoubtedly enhance your overall landing score even further. Keep up the good work, and strive for excellence in every aspect of your flying skills. Your dedication to improvement is evident, and it will surely pay off in proficiency and success in your future flights.
