Track the centreline
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 2.4° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.0° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,987 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,896 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport took a considerable 77 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 08, utilizing 831 feet, or 24% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 74 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60°F, with a gentle wind of 10 knots at 10°.
As the aircraft departed Kiel-Holtenau, it initiated an enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 430 feet above sea level to 1,490 feet, a gain of 1,059 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began overhead Kronshagen, lasting 31 minutes and covering a significant 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 26 at ETMN Nordholz Naval Airbase, approaching from the east at a heading of 259.0°, 2 nautical miles from the threshold and at an altitude of 1,108 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 26, utilizing 7,980 feet of available runway length. The touchdown point was 444 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 41 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute. Runway alignment was also satisfactory. Local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 60°F, with a wind of 10 knots at 11°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots. The total flight distance was 74 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 34 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 26 pounds of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 26 at ETMN Nordholz Naval Airbase with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 259.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,108 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a steady state, aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline as the threshold height was achieved. The threshold speed of 56 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 41 knots, which was within the desired parameters. The touchdown point was 444 feet beyond the touchdown zone, but this deviation was not significant enough to impact the overall performance. The touchdown rate of -124 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase.
The rollout phase was characterized by a stable and controlled deceleration, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 89.7%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 60°F and wind speeds of 10 knots at 11°, did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot. The crosswind component of 9 knots and the tailwind component of 4 knots were well within the acceptable range, allowing the pilot to maintain control throughout the approach and landing.
