Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the F-35C Lightning taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EEEI Ämari Air Base, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,010 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 224 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of Padise, Estonia, where the aircraft climbed from 708 feet above sea level to 21,190 feet, an increase of 20,481 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles southeast of Taebla, Estonia, where it descended from 21,160 feet to 20,140 feet, a decrease of 1,020 feet in 2 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 6 miles north of Virtsu, Estonia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb 8 miles south of Orissaare, Estonia, where it climbed from 20,922 feet to 21,574 feet, an increase of 652 feet in 2 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 9 miles southeast of Kudjape, Estonia, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering 238 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 11 miles northeast of Jastarnia, Poland, where it descended from 21,661 feet to 1,831 feet, a decrease of 19,830 feet in 6 minutes, covering 20 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31 at EPOK Oksywie Military Air Base was made from the southeast, heading 317.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,656 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 31 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 327 meters and a touchdown speed of 159 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -311 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 268 degrees. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,306 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 336 nautical miles, taking 45 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,992 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The F-35C Lightning aircraft successfully landed at EPOK Oksywie Military Air Base, achieving a score of 94.2%. The final approach to runway 31 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 317.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,656 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 159 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 327 meters was also considered good. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 174 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
The landing performance was further evaluated based on the touchdown rate, which was firm at -311 fpm. This suggests that the aircraft touched down with a controlled rate of descent, indicating a high level of pilot skill and control.
Despite the successful landing, there were some minor deviations from the optimal performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.3 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centreline. These deviations were relatively minor and did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 14 kt from a direction of 268°. The crosswind component was 11 kt, while the headwind component was 10 kt. These conditions were likely taken into account by the pilot during the landing, and the aircraft's performance was adapted accordingly.
Overall, the F-35C Lightning aircraft demonstrated a high level of performance and control during the landing at EPOK Oksywie Military Air Base, achieving a score of 94.2%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal performance, the aircraft's overall performance was considered good, and the landing was successful.
