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 2,402 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 452 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 24 at Memmingen Allgau Airport (EDJA). The aircraft, an EasyJet FWB, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 424 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 146 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, indicating a relatively calm atmosphere. The enroute climb began overhead Memmingerberg, a town in Bavaria, Germany, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,104 feet above sea level to 4,294 feet, a gain of 1,190 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Ottobeuren, another town in Bavaria. During this 4-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 24 at EDJA Memmingen Allgau Airport. The approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 240 degrees at an altitude of 1,714 feet above ground level and 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed smoothly, with a threshold speed of 140 knots and a touchdown distance of 453 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway's length.
The touchdown speed was 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was -260 feet per minute, which was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a precise and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, with no significant crosswind or headwind components.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute. The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used 265 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with a good landing and a perfect runway rollout alignment.
The aircraft, identified as FWB EasyJet, successfully landed at Memmingen Allgau Airport (EDJA) with a score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 240.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,714 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 2,402 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 140 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely.
The touchdown distance of 453 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 129 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions ideal.
The total landing distance of 951 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely and smoothly.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled manner in which the aircraft touched down and came to a stop.
