Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 981 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 981 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 169 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDNL Leutkirch-Unterzeil Airfield took approximately 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 24, utilizing 91% of the available runway length to achieve a takeoff distance of 713 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 106 knots, with a local temperature of 15°C and wind conditions favoring a tailwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute phase, it began climbing from an initial altitude of 3,144 feet above sea level to 10,106 feet, an increase of 6,962 feet over a distance of 12 nautical miles. This climb was achieved in just 3 minutes, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient performance capabilities. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated its enroute descent from 10,108 feet to 2,055 feet, a decrease of 8,053 feet over a distance of 22 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at EDMB Biberach an der Riß Airfield, aligning itself with the runway from the north east.
The aircraft landed on runway 22, utilizing 67% of the available runway length, with a touchdown distance of 168 meters. The touchdown speed of 80 knots was within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -291 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6 meters. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft came to a stop, having utilized 83 kilograms of fuel over the course of the 36-nautical-mile flight, which lasted approximately 15 minutes.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDMB Biberach an der Riß Airfield from the north east was executed with a heading of 221.0° at 0 nm and 141 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target, coming in at 88 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 168 m, and the touchdown speed of 80 kt was within acceptable limits.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown rate of -291 fpm, although this was only fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the slightly below-target threshold speed. The local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 14 °C and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 70°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a tailwind of 5 kt.
The total landing distance of 521 m was 67% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 97.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
