Track the centreline on final
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.

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.
Side view — the last 1,193 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at ENRI Ringebu Airfield Frya in Norway. The aircraft, a PC-12, took off with a takeoff distance of 527 meters, which was 74% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 94 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 326°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of ENRI Ringebu Airfield Frya. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,628 feet above sea level to 16,505 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,877 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which started 7 miles south of Forset in Norway and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 495 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles northeast of Vrees in Germany, where the aircraft descended from 17,125 feet above sea level to 282 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,843 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 2 miles east of Stadtlohn in Germany and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from an altitude of 382 feet above sea level to 1,140 feet above sea level, an increase of 759 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile west of Stadtlohn and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at EDLS Stadtlohn-Vreden Airfield was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 109.0° at 0 nautical miles and 279 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10, which had a length of 1,193 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 93 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 465 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 80 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -79 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 257°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 885 meters, which was 74% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 598 nautical miles, taking 65 minutes, and the aircraft used 570 kilograms of fuel.
The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at EDLS Stadtlohn-Vreden Airfield, achieving a score of 93.3%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 109.0° at an altitude of 279 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 1,193 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 93 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 80 knots was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown distance of 465 meters was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -79 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters, which may require some adjustments during future landings. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 2°C, a wind speed of 15 knots from 257°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance of 885 meters was 74% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with some minor areas for improvement.
