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 900 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 900 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 256 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, MFCTraining, then departed from runway 13 at LELL Sabadell Airfield. The takeoff distance was 137 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 56 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Barbera del Valles, a town in the Catalunya region of Spain. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,113 feet above sea level to 2,866 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,753 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Sant Cugat del Valles. This phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles south of Masquefa. During this descent, the aircraft decreased its altitude from 3,126 feet above sea level to 1,247 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,878 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then initiated another climb, this time starting 1 mile east of Piera. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,250 feet above sea level to 2,585 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,335 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Masquefa and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at LELL Sabadell Airfield was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 131.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,562 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 15 feet above ground level.
The aircraft then successfully landed on runway 13, with a runway length of 900 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 60 knots. The touchdown distance was 242 meters, and the touchdown speed was 45 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -26 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots.
The flight concluded with taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 42 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 12 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as MFCTraining, successfully landed on runway 13 at LELL Sabadell Airfield with a score of 91.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 131.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,562 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 900 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down on the runway, was slightly above the target speed at 63 knots. However, in another instance, the threshold speed was reported as good at 60 kt, indicating a slight discrepancy in the data.
The touchdown distance, which is the distance between the point where the aircraft touches down on the runway and the threshold, was reported as good at 242 meters. The touchdown speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down on the runway, was good at 45 knots. The touchdown rate, which is the rate at which the aircraft descends onto the runway, was perfect at -26 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft's nose wheel with the centerline of the runway, was reported as very good. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component, which is the component of the wind perpendicular to the direction of the runway, was 2 knots, while the headwind component, which is the component of the wind in the direction of the runway, was 13 knots.
