Hold the glidepath
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: glideslope 5.0° against the runway's 3°, centreline 2.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 19° of bank, against a 10° limit.

The 103 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Oerlinghausen Airfield, the XCub aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 04, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 70 kt in a distance of 268 m, which represented 45% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 24 °C and a light wind of 2 kt from 352°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 610 ft above sea level to 1,193 ft, a gain of 583 ft in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 2 nm. This initial climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nm, before the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 1,514 ft to 1,996 ft, an increase of 482 ft in 2 minutes, while covering 3 nm. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 11 minutes and covering 22 nm, before initiating a descent phase from 2,434 ft to 441 ft, a decrease of 1,993 ft in 4 minutes, while covering 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 68.0° at 1 nm and 245 ft above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target of 60 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 101 m, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 55 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -202 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 246 m, representing 40% of the available runway length. The total flight distance was 39 nm, and the aircraft used 8 kg of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06 at EDLH Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 60 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 101 m, demonstrating good control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 55 kt, and the touchdown rate was fair at -202 fpm. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of accuracy and control during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 246 m, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 93.5%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and skill.
