Hold the glidepath
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: glideslope 5.1° against the runway's 3° and centreline 3.8° off, against a 1° limit.

Side view — the last 3,649 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,649 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,202 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from EDCG Flugplatz Güttin / Rügen, where the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 140 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 09, utilizing 1,283 feet, or 44% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 62 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 11°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Sehlen, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, rising from an altitude of 1,074 feet above sea level to 1,840 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief enroute level cruise overhead EDCG Flugplatz Güttin / Rügen, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent 1 mile northeast of Samtens, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, descending from 1,465 feet to 990 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The descent was followed by a 30-minute enroute level cruise 1 mile southeast of Rambin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 53 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDCX Flugplatz Purkshof was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 220.0° at an altitude of 179 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on the 3,649-foot runway, with the threshold height at 57 feet above ground level being slightly above the target. The touchdown speed of 61 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate of -411 feet per minute was hard. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 1,615 feet, or 44% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 69 nautical miles, and the flight utilized 29 pounds of fuel, taking a total of 39 minutes.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDCX Flugplatz Purkshof from the north east, heading 220.0°, was initiated at 0 nm and 179 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height at 57 ft agl that was slightly above the target. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 61 kt, which was faster than desired, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -411 fpm. However, the touchdown distance of 1,183 ft was within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained very good centerline alignment, indicating a high degree of control and precision. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the critical phase of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,615 ft, which accounted for 44% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The landing was scored 95.1%, reflecting the satisfactory approach quality, good touchdown distance, and excellent centerline and rollout alignment. However, the high threshold speed and touchdown speed were notable areas for improvement. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59°F and wind at 10 kt from 11°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind of 9 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's performance during the landing.
