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.

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.

Side view — the last 561 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 264 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from EDWI JadeWeser Airport Wilhelmshaven, located in Lower Saxony, Germany, commenced with a taxiing phase that lasted approximately 10 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to runway 20, where it initiated the departure roll. The takeoff distance required was 185 meters, accounting for 19% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 44 knots, meeting the necessary conditions for safe departure.
Following departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, transitioning from an altitude of 132 feet above sea level to 72 feet above sea level, an increase of 60 feet in less than 1 minute, while covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb phase was successfully completed, and the aircraft proceeded to initiate a go-around maneuver at an altitude of 54 feet above ground level. Subsequently, the aircraft conducted a final approach to runway 34, aligning its heading with 334.0 degrees at an altitude of 454 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 34 was executed successfully, with a touchdown speed of 42 knots and a touchdown distance of 263 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute was fair, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 293 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in approximately 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, with a flight duration of 24 minutes and a fuel consumption of 8 kilograms.
The Edgley Optica touched down on runway 34 at EDWI JadeWeser Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, maintaining a steady heading of 334.0° from 1 nautical mile away at an altitude of 454 feet above ground level. The aircraft's descent was well-controlled, allowing for a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 58 knots, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a good touchdown distance of 263 meters, with a touchdown speed of 42 knots. Although the touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute was somewhat higher than ideal, it did not compromise the overall landing performance. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a 5-knot headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The Edgley Optica's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout. The total landing distance of 293 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance earned a score of 92.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
