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 1,511 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,511 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 301 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the DA 40 began with a taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking 8 minutes to cover 4 nm. The departure roll was from runway 24 at KUNV University Park, with a takeoff distance of 116 m (6% of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 73 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kn at 270 °, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and a 1 kn headwind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Toftrees (Pennsylvania, United States), climbing from 2,240 ft asl to 2,718 ft asl, an increase of 478 ft in 1 minute and covering 1 nm. This was followed by a level cruise over Toftrees for 4 minutes, covering 6 nm.
The next climb started 1 mile southeast of Boalsburg (Pennsylvania, United States), climbing from 2,649 ft asl to 3,633 ft asl, an increase of 985 ft in 1 minute and covering 2 nm. This was followed by a 5-minute level cruise 3 miles southeast of Boalsburg, covering 6 nm.
Another climb started overhead KRVL Mifflin Co Reedsville (Pennsylvania, United States), climbing from 3,605 ft asl to 4,148 ft asl, an increase of 543 ft in 1 minute and covering 2 nm. The descent phase of the flight started overhead Lumber City, descending from 4,146 ft asl to 3,919 ft asl, a decrease of 226 ft in 1 minute and covering 1 nm. This was followed by a 4-minute level cruise over Church Hill, covering 5 nm.
The descent continued 3 miles northeast of Milroy (Pennsylvania, United States), descending from 4,065 ft asl to 3,902 ft asl, a decrease of 163 ft in 1 minute and covering 1 nm. A brief level cruise started 4 miles southeast of Spring Mills, covering less than 1 nm.
Another descent started 5 miles southeast of Spring Mills, descending from 3,895 ft asl to 3,637 ft asl, a decrease of 257 ft in 1 minute and covering 1 nm. A climb then followed 4 miles northeast of Milroy, climbing from 3,723 ft asl to 3,981 ft asl, an increase of 258 ft in 1 minute and covering 1 nm. The final descent of the flight began 2 miles northeast of Milroy, descending from 4,008 ft asl to 2,616 ft asl, a decrease of 1,392 ft in 1 minute and covering 3 nm.
The landing was on runway 24 at KRVL Mifflin Co, with a runway length of 1,511 m. The height at the threshold was 18 ft agl, and the speed at the threshold was 64 kn. The touchdown occurred 299 m from the threshold at a speed of 52 kn with a VSI of -48 ft/m. The total landing distance was 543 m, which was 36% of the runway length. The local weather at the time of landing was 15 °C with a wind of 0 kn at 60 °, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.
Finally, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 38 nm, lasting 32 minutes and using 7 kg of fuel.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 93.8% is quite commendable and demonstrates strong proficiency in several key areas.
Starting with the Approach Phase, while there were some issues with the descent path being above the glideslope limit and the speed being below target, it is important to be mindful of these factors to avoid stalling. Paying closer attention to maintaining the correct descent path and speed during the approach will help improve overall performance in this phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is encouraging to see a good threshold height and very good landing flare. These factors indicate a strong level of control and precision during the landing process. Ensuring consistent execution of these aspects will lead to even better scores in future landings.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is worth noting the perfect touchdown rate and on-target speed. Additionally, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 5.1m from the centerline are both impressive achievements. These factors show a high level of accuracy and skill in landing the aircraft.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 5.0m from the centerline is another positive indicator of precision in landing. Consistent focus on maintaining proper alignment during rollout will contribute to overall improvement in landing scores.
Overall, while there are areas for improvement, your performance in this landing was strong and demonstrates a solid foundation of skill and proficiency. By addressing the issues in the Approach Phase and continuing to excel in the Landing, Touchdown, and Rollout Phases, you have the potential to achieve even higher scores in future landings. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of aircraft landing.
