Track the centreline on final
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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 20 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 07 at EDLB Borkenberge Airfield. The Bonanza G36 aircraft took off after a distance of 240 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 83 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 75 degrees. This resulted in a headwind of 9 knots and no crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it reached an altitude of 1,248 feet above sea level, increasing from an initial altitude of 929 feet. This climb of 320 feet was achieved in just 1 minute and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The enroute climb started overhead EDLB Borkenberge Airfield Lüdinghausen, located in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile south east of EDLB Borkenberge Airfield Lüdinghausen.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from an altitude of 1,234 feet above sea level to 516 feet. This descent of 718 feet was achieved in 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles east of Werne, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
The final approach to runway 06 at EDLH Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading at 62.0 degrees at an altitude of 329 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 06, which had a length of 610 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 69 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 16 meters, and the touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -257 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 50 degrees, resulting in a headwind of 7 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 246 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at EDLH Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 62.0° at an altitude of 329 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 06, which has a length of 610 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 69 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 16 meters, and the touchdown speed of 68 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -257 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal.
The landing was affected by local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline. This could potentially lead to issues with directional control during the rollout phase. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which may require the pilot to make adjustments to maintain directional control.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment and speed. The pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions and maintain control of the aircraft was commendable, and the score of 92.8% reflects a high level of proficiency.
