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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,035 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,035 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 116 m touchdown sits inside 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 approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport. The takeoff distance was 417 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 247 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport. The climb took 1 minute to reach an altitude of 1,098 feet above sea level, an increase of 381 feet from the initial altitude of 717 feet. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile northeast of Kronshagen, and it lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 262.0 degrees at an altitude of 283 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 1,035 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 56 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 114 meters, and the touchdown speed was 50 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 246 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters. The total landing distance was 353 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 262.0° at an altitude of 283 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 1,035 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 56 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 114 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 50 knots. However, the touchdown rate was firm, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal, at -314 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach and landing technique. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from 246°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 353 meters, which corresponds to 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a good approach and landing technique. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
