Slow down before tight turns
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

The 210 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, with a takeoff distance of 457 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Altenholz, Germany. The climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,083 feet above sea level to 15,129 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,045 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles west of Gremersdorf, Germany. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles southeast of Fehmarn, Germany. The descent took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 35 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 15,073 feet above sea level to 3,920 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,153 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Ostseebad Dierhagen, Germany. This cruise lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Velgast, Germany. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 3,456 feet above sea level to 1,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,150 feet.
The final approach to runway 27 at EDBH Barth Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270 degrees at an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 27, which had a length of 1,145 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 85 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 207 meters, and the touchdown speed was 78 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -215 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 256 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 607 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 106 nautical miles, and the flight took 40 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 86 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as an M500, successfully landed at EDBH Barth Airport on runway 27. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing, achieving a score of 99.0%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 78 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 207 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision throughout the approach. However, the touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to improve their descent rate to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 256°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and accurate course throughout the approach.
The total landing distance of 607 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had made effective use of the available runway length and had maintained control throughout the rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and accurate course during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, which could be achieved through more precise control of the descent rate.
