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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

The 142 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at EDML Landshut Airfield, a small airfield in Bavaria, Germany. The aircraft, a M500, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 96 kt, covering a distance of 555 m, which was 62% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 5 kt from the west.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Bruckberg. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 2,347 ft above sea level to 5,012 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nm. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a steady cruise altitude.
The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 1 mile west of Moosburg and lasted for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 63 nm. This steady cruise phase allowed the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a consistent speed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting overhead Deisenhausen. The descent was steep, with the aircraft dropping from 4,545 ft to 3,602 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nm. This rapid descent allowed the aircraft to quickly lose altitude and prepare for its final approach.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDMI Illertissen Airfield was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 272.0 ° at 3 nm and 1,909 ft above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 4 kt from the west.
The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 80 kt and a distance of 128 m. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -88 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned, with the aircraft landing 15.5 m off the centreline.
The total landing distance was 381 m, which was 59% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, with the aircraft rolling out 14.5 m off the centreline. Despite these minor issues, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft using 79 kg of fuel and covering a total distance of 79 nm in 34 minutes.
The aircraft in question, an M500, successfully landed at EDMI Illertissen Airfield, but with some notable deviations from ideal performance. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 272.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,909 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 648 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 83 knots. This may indicate a slight delay in the aircraft's descent or a slight increase in airspeed during the final approach. The touchdown distance was good at 128 meters, and the touchdown speed of 80 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -88 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Despite the good performance in terms of speed and distance, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind, pilot error, or a navigation issue. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 381 meters, which is 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, the landing was successful, but with some notable deviations from ideal performance. The aircraft's speed and distance performance were good, but the touchdown position and rollout alignment were slightly off. Further analysis and review of the flight data may be necessary to identify the root causes of these deviations and to improve the aircraft's performance in future landings.
