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 six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 303 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The aircraft, Beast Horus, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 84 knots. The takeoff distance was 278 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 28 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Reichelsheim in the state of Hessen, Germany. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,398 feet above sea level to 5,981 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,583 feet in just 4 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile northwest of EDIF Gedern Airfield in Gedern, Hessen, Germany. The descent from 5,985 feet above sea level to 1,692 feet above sea level resulted in a decrease of 4,293 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 186.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 80 knots.
The touchdown distance was 301 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was 61 knots, also considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -250 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -0 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 40 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 495 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 28 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used 19 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beast Horus aircraft successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 91.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 186.0° at an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was above the target at 80 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 301 meters. The touchdown speed of 61 knots was within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth landing. However, the touchdown rate of -250 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -0°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 40°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was also 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 495 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
