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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 190 m touchdown sits inside 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 23 at EDDW Bremen Airport. The takeoff distance was 55 meters, which is 8% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 10,017 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,262 feet from the initial height of 755 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Stuhr, a town in Lower Saxony, Germany. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile northwest of Vollersode, another town in Lower Saxony, Germany. This phase lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Gross Offenseth-Aspern, a town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The descent from 9,828 feet to 3,700 feet took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Bargfeld-Stegen, a town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Jersbek, a town in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The descent from 3,324 feet to 1,366 feet took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 230.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 163 meters and a touchdown speed of 50 knots. The touchdown rate was also good, at -186 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots and the headwind was 6 knots. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 91 nautical miles and took 67 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) on runway 23, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 230.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,321 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing were characterized by good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance. The threshold speed was maintained at 61 knots, which is a suitable speed for landing on a runway of 2,790 meters in length. The touchdown distance of 163 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 50 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute (fpm) was within the normal range. This suggests that the aircraft's descent was well-managed and the pilot maintained control throughout the landing process. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft's approach and landing. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft coming to rest on the runway in a controlled manner.
