Track the centreline on final
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.

Plan view — the full 598 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 262 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 33 at EDPB Bad Ditzenbach Airfield. The aircraft, Sirius, took off with a takeoff distance of 131 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 57 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDPB Bad Ditzenbach Airfield. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,767 feet above sea level to 3,423 feet above sea level, an increase of 655 feet in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase followed, which began overhead Bad Uberkingen and lasted for 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles during this phase.
The enroute descent phase started overhead Geislingen an der Steige, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,262 feet above sea level to 2,417 feet above sea level, a decrease of 845 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles during this phase. The final approach to runway 27 at EDPM Donzdorf Airfield was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 284.0 degrees at an altitude of 145 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at EDPM Donzdorf Airfield was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 47 knots. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 445 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as Sirius, has successfully landed at EDPM Donzdorf Airfield, achieving a score of 87.5%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 284.0° at an altitude of 145 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 60 knots. The touchdown point was located at a considerable distance along the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly long on the landing, but the touchdown speed of 47 knots was within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -125 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing, avoiding any abrupt or hard landings. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 445 meters, which accounts for 74% of the available runway length.
Upon rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a smooth touchdown rate. However, the slightly long touchdown point and above-target threshold speed may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's landing technique.
