Flight Score
Departure
Use rudder and aileron to hold the extended centreline, correcting drift before it reaches -0.8°.
What happened: During the initial climb the heading drifted -0.8° off the runway track.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level on the runway track
Arrival
Add power on final to hold 78 kt across the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 58 kt, 20 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 173 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 78 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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set and centreline 1.9° off, against a 1° limit.

Side view — the last 1,224 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,224 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 14 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The Extra 330 taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the take-off roll, covering 252 m which represents 21 % of the runway; liftoff was achieved at 61 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 24 °C with wind from 227° at 17 kt, providing a cross-wind component of 13 kt and a head-wind component of 11 kt.
The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 18, flying a distance of less than 1 nm in 41 seconds.
A left-hand pattern cross-wind leg followed, also less than 1 nm and completed in 23 seconds.
During the downwind turn the aircraft covered 2 nm while turning to an angle of 51.7° relative to the runway heading.
The downwind leg extended 3 nm and was flown in 63 seconds.
The base-leg turn spanned 2 nm with a turn angle of 57.8° to the runway.
The base leg itself was 1 nm long and was completed in 48 seconds.
A final turn of less than 1 nm was executed in 36 seconds, positioning the aircraft for final approach.
On final approach to runway 18 from the north the aircraft was on a heading of 178.0° at 1 nm and 339 ft AGL.
Landing was made on runway 18, whose length is 1,227 m; the threshold speed was slightly below target at 58 kt. Touchdown occurred 11 m down the runway at 56 kt with a descent rate of minus 99 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 10.1 m from the centreline. Weather remained temperature 24 °C, wind 17 kt from 227°, cross-wind 13 kt and head-wind 11 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 194 m, representing 16 % of the runway, and the aircraft remained slightly misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline.
Overall, the flight covered 8 nm, taking 5 and used 3 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was flown from the north on a heading of 178.0 ° at 1 nm and 339 ft agl, with local temperature 24 °C, wind 17 kt from 227 °, providing a 13 kt cross-wind component and an 11 kt head-wind component.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 58 kt. The aircraft crossed the threshold 11 m from the runway edge, indicating a good touchdown distance.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 56 kt, which was good, and the vertical speed was excellent at minus 99 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 194 m, representing 16 % of the 1 227 m runway, and the rollout remained slightly misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline.
To refine future performances, aim to achieve the exact target threshold speed rather than a slightly lower value, and focus on improving lateral alignment to keep the touchdown and rollout within a tighter centreline envelope.
