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.

The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 13 at LELL Sabadell Airfield. The aircraft, MFCTraining, took off with a takeoff distance of 157 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 57 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 12 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Barbera del Valles in Catalonia, Spain. The climb began at an altitude of 1,351 feet above sea level and reached a height of 3,366 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,015 feet in just 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Mollet del Valles and lasted for 13 minutes. This cruise phase covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 1 mile west of Matadepera. The descent started at an altitude of 3,485 feet above sea level and ended at 2,285 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,200 feet in just 2 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 13 at LELL Sabadell Airfield was made from the north-west, with a heading of 127.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,803 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 13 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 165 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The touchdown speed was 49 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -24 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 120 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 25 minutes. The aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as MFCTraining, successfully landed at LELL Sabadell Airfield, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing technique. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 127.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,803 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely conducted in accordance with standard operating procedures, taking into account the aircraft's speed and altitude.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft touched down smoothly, with a threshold speed of 60 knots being maintained. The touchdown distance of 165 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had effectively controlled the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -24 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, signifying a gentle and controlled touchdown.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.1 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 120°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 294 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and descent to achieve a safe and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing performance of MFCTraining was impressive, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing technique. The minor deviations in touchdown position and landing distance were not significant enough to impact the overall safety and efficiency of the landing.
