Flight Score
Departure
Smooth and reduce pitch inputs during the climb so g force stays steady near 1.1 g.
What happened: During the second climb segment, g force varied through 1.1 g, outside the smooth target band.
Watch for: G meter in Climb 2, holding within the normal steady climb band.
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stop the drift as soon as it starts in the flare.
What happened: On the landing you drifted 8.7 m off the centreline, and that kind of lateral drift usually carries through to a touchdown point 9 m off centreline and into a rollout that is still skewed off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Heading indicator: track straight down the extended runway centreline through touchdown and rollout.
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set and centreline 2.5° off, against a 1° limit.

Side view — the last 1,224 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,224 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Extra 330 taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the take-off roll, covering 233 m which represented 19 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 67 kt under a temperature of 32 °C, with a wind from 153° at 8 kt, providing a head-wind component of 8 kt and a cross-wind component of 4 kt.
During the left-hand pattern the aircraft entered from runway 18, completing the entry and cross-wind legs in less than 1 nm each, taking 13 seconds and 24 seconds respectively. The downwind turn covered 1 nm at an angle of 76.1° to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 52 seconds. The base-leg turn spanned 2 nm at 38.5° to the runway, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 19 seconds. The final turn was also less than 1 nm, taking 34 seconds, and the aircraft established a final approach to runway 18 from the north on a heading of 176.0° at 1 nm and 409 ft AGL.
The landing was executed on runway 18, whose length is 1 224 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 85 kt, higher than optimal. Touchdown occurred 63 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 66 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 111 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 9.0 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 892 m, representing 73 % of the runway length.
Rollout continued with a slight centreline deviation of 8.9 m as the aircraft decelerated along the remaining runway.
In total the flight covered 7 nm, took 4 (units as reported), and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
The aircraft entered the final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the north on a heading of 176.0° at 1 NM and 409 ft agl, with a temperature of 32 °C, wind 8 kt from 153°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 85 kt.
Touchdown occurred 63 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 66 kt that was good and a smooth vertical rate of minus 111 fpm; the touchdown point was misaligned by 9.0 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 892 m, representing 73 % of the 1 224 m runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 8.9 m from the centreline.
With a score of 86.3 % the landing was solid; reducing the threshold speed toward the target and tightening centreline alignment on touchdown and rollout will further improve performance.
