Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 3,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 655 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a DA42-VI, then departed from runway 09L at EDDV Hannover Airport. The takeoff distance was 310 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 77 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDDV Hannover Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,188 feet above sea level to 6,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,938 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile northwest of Burgdorf, Germany, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its first descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Hambuhren, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,770 feet above sea level to 3,779 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,991 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles east of Lindwedel, Germany, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Steimbke, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,896 feet above sea level to 3,186 feet above sea level, a decrease of 710 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles southeast of Linsburg, Germany, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its third descent, which started 1 mile northwest of ETNW Wunstorf Air Base, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,971 feet above sea level to 1,536 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,435 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09L at EDDV Hannover Airport, flying from the west at a heading of 91.0° and at an altitude of 1,350 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 125 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 09L at EDDV Hannover Airport, with a runway length of 3,189 meters. The threshold height at 77 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 99 knots. The touchdown point was 224 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 77 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 269°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the tailwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,078 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 71 nautical miles, and the flight took 75 minutes, using 34 kilograms of fuel
The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EDDV Hannover Airport, achieving a score of 81.4%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 91.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,350 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 09L, which has a length of 3,189 meters.
Upon analysis, it was found that the threshold height at 77 feet agl was well above the target, indicating a slight deviation in the aircraft's descent. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 99 knots, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown speed being fast at 77 knots. The touchdown point was 224 meters beyond the touchdown zone, suggesting that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended.
The touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 269°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,078 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters.
