Settle the descent rate
See Arrival Approach
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 156 kt with 7.6° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 571 kt, 149 kt over its 422 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 619 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 1,385 m of runway left; gear up at 5 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,450 fpm on average to 619 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,437 m runway.
Rolled from 92 m in, drifted 2.4 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off, in 8 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 17 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed and speed above the approach speed.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 1.3 to 0.5 nm, then not again: low from 0.5 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
On the glideslope from 2.4 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm, then low to the threshold (up to 100 ft under).
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 684 m left of the centreline at 2.4 nm, then inside the band from 1.9 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The aircraft touched down before the threshold. Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.
3 kt across from the left, which takes about 1° of crab to hold the centreline at 173 kt. Touched down with 1° of it still on, 3° of bank.
Wind 239° at 7 kt · 6 kt head · 3 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 175 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 28 s, an average deceleration of 0.28 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Began the flare high, at 102 ft, 870 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 55 ft, close to the 50 ft target; ballooned 4 ft from 46 ft. Touched down 135 m before the threshold.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 135 m short of the threshold. The 2.41 G arrival bounced 2 times.
The rest of the report
Departing from Schleswig Air Base, the aircraft began its journey with a taxiing period of six minutes, covering a distance of four nautical miles. Following a smooth departure roll from runway 23, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots, utilizing only 18% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was 434 meters, a testament to the aircraft's efficient performance in the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a moderate headwind of 17 knots.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute phase, it began a series of climbs and level cruises, navigating through the German airspace. The first notable climb started one mile south-east of Gross Rheide, where the aircraft ascended from 725 feet above sea level to 8,968 feet, an increase of 8,242 feet in just two minutes. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, reaching a maximum altitude of 26,708 feet above sea level. The final descent phase began two miles north-east of Oberhof, where the aircraft descended from 26,705 feet to 8,062 feet, a decrease of 18,643 feet in just three minutes. The aircraft then leveled off and continued its journey, eventually beginning its final approach to runway 27 at Neuburg Air Base.
The final approach was initiated from the east, with the aircraft descending from 1,572 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was executed at 382 feet above ground level, and the aircraft subsequently touched down before the threshold. The touchdown speed was 172 knots, which was slightly faster than recommended, resulting in a heavy touchdown rate of -1,046 feet per minute. The aircraft's total landing distance was 1,269 meters, accounting for 51% of the available runway length. Following a brief taxiing period, the aircraft came to a stop, concluding its journey of 385 nautical miles, which had taken 43 minutes and utilized no fuel.
