Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 50 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 91 kt, 41 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 50 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 62 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 74 kt against a target of 62 kt, 12 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 62 kt by the gate and held to 62 kt at the threshold.
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 500 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 500 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, glideslope 5.7° against the runway's 3°, centreline 8.8° off, against a 1° limit and speed 61 kt FAST on the reference speed of 62 kt.

Plan view — the full 1,224 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 57 m short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the departure roll. The take-off run measured 613 m, representing 50 % of the available runway, and the aircraft became airborne at a liftoff speed of 91 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 17 °C, wind from 261° at 13 kt, with a cross-wind component of 13 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climbing from an altitude of 699 ft asl to 1 543 ft asl, the aircraft gained 844 ft in 1 minute while covering 3 nm, the climb beginning overhead Florstadt (Hessen, Germany).
A level cruise segment began 2 mi south-west of Ranstadt (Hessen, Germany) and lasted 3 minutes, during which 8 nm were traversed.
The next climb started 2 mi north-west of Hirzenhain (Hessen, Germany), rising from 1 697 ft asl to 2 179 ft asl, an increase of 482 ft in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase commenced 1 mi south-east of Schotten (Hessen, Germany), lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
The aircraft then climbed overhead EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield Ulrichstein (Hessen, Germany), ascending from 2 599 ft asl to 3 207 ft asl, a gain of 608 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 3 nm.
Following that, a cruise segment began 1 mi south-west of EDX1 Hoherodskopf Schotten (Hessen, Germany), lasting 2 minutes and covering 4 nm.
An en-route descent started 2 mi north of Hirzenhain (Hessen, Germany), descending from 3 243 ft asl to 1 927 ft asl, a loss of 1 316 ft in 3 minutes while covering 6 nm.
The next level cruise began 1 mi south-west of Nidda (Hessen, Germany), lasting 3 minutes and covering 5 nm.
During the final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, the aircraft descended from 1 244 ft agl to 118 ft agl in 65 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 18, whose length is 1 224 m, the aircraft touched down 57 m short of the threshold; the threshold speed was well above the target at 74 kt. Touchdown speed was 57 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 280 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.8 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 16 °C, wind from 260° at 15 kt, cross-wind 15 kt and head-wind 2 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 629 m, representing 51 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
After touchdown the aircraft decelerated along the runway, maintaining the good alignment noted, and exited the runway at the appropriate stop-point.
In total the flight covered 38 nm, taking 17 and used 5 kg of fuel.
