Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 633 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 08 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport. The takeoff distance was 651 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile south west of Laboe, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The climb took 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude from 1,019 feet above sea level to 2,149 feet above sea level, a total increase of 1,130 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south of Klausdorf, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile north east of Stubben, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and took 2 minutes to descend from 2,996 feet above sea level to 1,326 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,670 feet. The descent covered 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 72.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, which had a length of 1,914 meters, was characterized by a threshold height that was slightly above the target, and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 80 knots. The touchdown point was 193 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 70 knots. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -70 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 24.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with no crosswind and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 900 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 24.1 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 51 nautical miles, and the flight took 25 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 63 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal approach and landing. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 72.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 1,914 meters.
The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent. However, the threshold speed was significantly above the target at 80 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been experiencing difficulty in slowing down the aircraft during the final approach. The touchdown point was 193 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a notable deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 70 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before touching down. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of -70 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 24.2 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a combination of factors including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. These conditions suggest that the wind was not a significant factor in the deviation from the ideal landing.
The total landing distance of 900 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 24.1 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position deviation.
Overall, the landing was successful, but it highlights the importance of precise control and attention to detail during the final approach and landing phases of flight. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown rate was excellent, but the deviations from the ideal landing spot and runway alignment suggest that there is room for improvement in terms of precision and control.
