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.

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 2,285 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 319 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Britten Norman Maritime Defender, then departed from runway 11 at EKRN Bornholm Airport. The takeoff distance was 408 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 76 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 99 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft successfully took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead EKRN Bornholm Airport. The climb from 400 feet above sea level to 5,269 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,868 feet, was achieved in 7 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles. This phase began 12 miles south of EKRN Bornholm Airport. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 10 miles northeast of Koserow, Germany. The descent from 5,111 feet above sea level to 4,064 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,047 feet, was achieved in 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles north of Koserow. The aircraft then started its final descent, which began 2 miles south of Rankwitz, Germany. The descent from 2,687 feet above sea level to 1,643 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,044 feet, was achieved in 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at EDAH Heringsdorf Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 107.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,547 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 317 meters, which was 21% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 69 knots, and the touchdown rate was -164 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 471 meters, and the total flight distance was 83 nautical miles, taking approximately 43 minutes. The aircraft used 41 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Britten Norman Maritime Defender aircraft successfully landed at EDAH Heringsdorf Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 10 was executed from the west, with a heading of 107.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,547 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a threshold speed of 71 knots, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 317 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 69 knots was equally impressive, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 8 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions contributed to a relatively straightforward landing, with the aircraft experiencing a gentle push from the wind.
The total landing distance of 471 meters was a mere 21% of the runway length, indicating a precise and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach. The rollout alignment after touchdown was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the landing of the Britten Norman Maritime Defender at EDAH Heringsdorf Airport was a textbook example of safe and efficient flight operations. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing, resulting in a successful and controlled touchdown.
